How to make Chrome go Incognito for specific sites

 

There are several reasons to disable browser history recording, ranging from personal to practical.

If you're a Chrome user, you have to toggle into Incognito mode in order to avoid adding to your browsing history. However, forgetting to enter Incognito mode or accidentally browsing with the wrong open window defeats the purpose of having an Incognito mode available. The Ghost Incognito extension for Chrome alleviates this issue by allowing you to create a filter that will automatically place pages in an Incognito window based on domain name.

Step 1: Install the Ghost Incognito extension from the Chrome market.

Step 2: Navigate to a site you want to view in Incognito mode (unfortunately you have to do this while not using Incognito mode first). Click on the ghost icon to the right of the address bar to add the domain to your filter list.

Evernote Launches Browser Extension to Remove Clutter From the Web Reading Experience

 

Evernote has unveiled a new browser extension that removes ads and other distractions from the web-reading experience.

Evernote Clearly, which is now available for Chrome and soon other browsers, is a simple, one-click button that creates an alternative view of the content you’re reading online. It removes all the extra clutter, including navigation, advertising and unnecessary images. It even takes multi-page articles and turns them into one page.

Clearly comes with three themes for customizing the reading experience: Newsprint, Notable and Nightowl. Users can customize these themes further by changing the fonts, backgrounds and font colors.

The extension also adds a second feature to the browser, too: the Evernote Web Clipper. Web Clipper lets users save the content they find on the web to their Evernote accounts. The Clip button appears as Evernote’s elephant logo, and the “Clearly” button takes the form of a reading lamp.

The Web Clipper extension has about 375,000 Firefox users — good, but not great. It seems Clearly is designed to also get more people using Evernote’s clipping functionality.
