Go Private Quickly
for Chrome & Chromium browsers

What it does

• Standard Private Window — click the toolbar icon, click the button, and a normal Incognito window opens. Nothing else changes.
• Open Hardened Private Window — opens an Incognito window and tightens supported privacy settings for that private session only (WebRTC IP protection, network prediction, search suggestions, hyperlink auditing, ad-targeting APIs, third-party cookies, and more).
• It cleans up after itself. Those settings apply to the private session alone. Your normal browsing is never changed, and the browser restores everything automatically when the last private window closes — even after a crash or force-quit.
• It never weakens security. Safe Browsing, your password manager, certificate/HTTPS checks, and updates are never touched.

Works on every Chromium browser

All of these install the same extension directly from the Chrome Web Store:

ChromeWin · Mac · Linux

BraveWin · Mac · Linux

Microsoft EdgeWin · Mac

ArcWin · Mac

VivaldiWin · Mac · Linux

ChromiumWin · Mac · Linux

Edge users: install from the Chrome Web Store — Edge supports Chrome extensions directly. A separate Edge Add-ons listing isn't required.

How to install

1. Open the Chrome Web Store listing (link goes live once it's approved).
2. Click Add to Chrome (or your browser's equivalent), then confirm.
3. A welcome page opens. Follow the one-time step to Allow in Incognito — browsers require you, not the extension, to flip this.
4. Click the toolbar icon and choose Standard Private Window or Open Hardened Private Window.

Listing pending store approval. The install button above links here until it's live.

What it is not

GPQ is a convenience-and-privacy tool, not anonymity. It is not a VPN, it does not hide your IP, and it does not block ads or trackers (pair it with uBlock Origin for that). Files you download during private browsing stay on your computer after the window closes. See the full privacy policy.
