About

Effortlessly configure Regular Expressions (Regex) to ensure specific websites to always open in Incognito mode.

With this extension, you can define custom patterns to match URLs to open in incongnito mode. 
For instance, to always open banking-related websites in Incognito mode, you can use a regex like: ".*(bank|banking).*." (without the quotes)

How to:
Thanks @Taz Edwards:
1. Leave your existing bookmark(s) as-is in your normal, non-incognito window
2. Pin this extention to your browser window
3. Click the extention silhouette and click options
4. Add the domain in 'pattern' with the syntax changes as described and click the + sign
5. Click your normal bookmark but not from a tab you want to keep since this extention will remove that tab and create a new incog window
