Chrome plugin for setting a homepage for the incognito mode

Doesn't actually, um.... you know.... work. The modal that asks for a URL flickers a lot and sometimes makes my typing be backwards: I type "about:blank" but it comes out as "knalb:touba", until I fight with it for a while or just paste the URL. Then it turns "about:blank" info "http://about:blank" which isn't a valid URL. Then, finally, when I bring up incognito mode, the browser still opens to the default incognito home page, and the home button does the same thing. I just want it to open a blank page..... why can't it do that, chrome? Why?
Not working in Chrome 80.0
Worked well before, but does not seem to work any more with the latest version of Chrome (79.x)
It's working fine, I'm wondering why you need the permission to read my browsing data? Looks like that's the only permission this extension has, but I'm wondering why. For example, I have the duckduckgo for chrome extension installed, and it has 0 permissions, and all it's allowed to do is "Read and change your data on sites. You can control which sites the extension can access." And then it specifies that I only allow it to access duckduckgo itself. Couldn't this extension be set up that same way?
This is all I wanted. Works great
Very good, but I wanted to use " about:blank " or " chrome://newtab " the first one has no effect, the second one is marked as "invalid"
This is OK, but it has a major flaw: you cannot use ANY local URLs. For example, I wanted to have my default 'New Tab' page as my home page. The url for this is chrome://newtab/ but Incognito Homepage extension says that this url is invalid and therefore it refuses to to let me save it. There is no reason why urls starting with chrome: should be prevented. They're just local pages within your own browser.
works just like it says it does. 5/5 love it
Works well enough. The delay before loading was long enough that I thought it wasn't working at first. Low rating because I can't use local files at all; looks like I would have to sign up for a photo sharing site just to use this.
It's pretty handy to what I needed to do, but 3 stars only because the URL regex is too restrictive and doesn't let you use local files—so I had to get another extension to view the code, make changes and load the unpacked extension in developer mode. Sadly my regexjutsu is not strong enough, so I just modified the default URL and it works like a charm.
Very useful extension!! Works great.
Works as intended, however I experience a slight delay where I see the default incognito page before the page is re-routed to the desired homepage. Thanks for the extension!
