Regarding the recent re-purposing of this blog: I guess that if I have tech-related stuff, this is still the best place to post it!
Windows users currently have a nice browsing feature in Google Chrome and IE8 called incognito mode, which means that any sites you access in a special session/window are not added to the browser history and cookies are deleted after the session is closed, etc. Fortunately, Mac OS X users can set up an incognito mode using Firefox 3.0 with the help of two launcher applications I wrote and some instructions based off two posts on Shantanu’s Technophilic Musings which are included in the download.
Download the FFIncognito launchers.
It’s pretty simple as long as Firefox is installed in the Applications folder, but I have written instructions on how to modify the launchers if it is installed somewhere else.
Hope this is a helpful solution until either Firefox 3.1 stable (which will have an easy-to-access incognito mode) or Chrome are released for Mac OS X.
