Microsoft Edge — Go Private Quickly

What it does

One-click private window — click the toolbar icon and an InPrivate window opens immediately. No popup, nothing to configure. That's the whole idea.
State-aware icon — the toolbar mask is vivid in a normal window and goes muted silver when you're focused on an InPrivate one.
It never changes your browser settings. The only permission it asks for is storage, and it never connects to the internet.

How to install

Open the Microsoft Edge Add-ons listing.
Click Get, then Add extension.
A welcome page opens. Follow the one-time step: edge://extensions/?id=hkkldegnjfeijmpekiklijglmfkaniop → switch on Allow in InPrivate. Edge requires you, not the extension, to flip this.
Click the toolbar icon — an InPrivate window opens immediately.

What it is not

GPQ is a convenience 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 or Edge's tracking prevention). Files you download during private browsing stay on your computer after the window closes. See the full privacy policy.
