By default, all browser extensions are disabled in Incognito mode and this is because some extensions store user data yet Incognito mode is majorly about being anonymous. Nevertheless, extensions can be enabled in incognito. However, it’s good to avoid enabling extensions that save user data if the major reason is to be anonymous while browsing.
Is it Safe to Enable Extensions in Incognito mode?
Well, the first thing you should know is that Incognito mode does not entirely protect you from being tracked by websites especially the ones where you log in. Neither does it protect your IP from being discovered (that would be the work of a VPN). It will however allow you to create a brand new session in your browser and this session will only be active for as long the Incognito window is open and neither cookies, browsing history, or login sessions will be saved. This also means the cookies or accounts stored in the main browser session won’t any way affect you in the Incognito mode. You should note that your organization (school or work) and the service provider will be able to see your activity due to reasons. Enabling extensions in Incognito definitely increases the chances of being tracked since most extensions store user data. However, with extensions that improve security like VPNs, adblockers, and the like, it’s entirely safe to have them enabled in Incognito.
