In this article, I will guide you on how to disable incognito mode in Chrome and ensure that it stays disabled.
Disabling Incognito Mode on Different Devices and Browsers
To disable Incognito Mode on different devices and browsers, follow these steps:
For Windows users, open the Start menu and search for “regedit” to access the Windows Registry. Locate the “IncognitoModeAvailability” key under “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome” and set its value to “1” to disable Incognito Mode.
On Google Chrome, right-click the Chrome icon and select “Properties” from the context menu. In the “Target” text box, add “—incognito-disabled” at the end of the target path, then click “Apply” and “OK” to save the changes.
For other browsers, such as Microsoft Edge or Mozilla Firefox, refer to their respective support pages for instructions on disabling private browsing modes.
