Is it possible to open a new incognito window to a URL of my choosing via either some attributes on a hyperlink or some javascript? If it is, how do I do it?

Answer 1

There's an easy way if (and only if) you're developing an extension:

chrome.windows.create({
  url: "http://www.google.com",
  incognito: true
});

It requires tabs permission in the manifest, but that's it.

Note that the above has the user consent to allowing the extension to enter incognito mode, among other tab-related permission. I can't tell 100% whether you're developing an extension -- I assume not -- but in any case that's the extension solution and there isn't one otherwise.

Answer 2

Seems not. You can not force incognito from within the html/js code. You can only load the browser with

-incognito

switch to force it to incognito on load.
