Use a keyboard shortcut to open links incognito.
This plugin allows you to use a key combination and click to open a link in an incognito window. If you open links incognito several times a day, this plugin can be a great time-saver.
The default key combination is Shift + Meta + Click. It can be changed via the Options page. Whether the new tabs open in a new window each time or in the same window can also be configured.
The Meta key could be the Command Key (on Mac), the Win Key (on Windows), Context/Menu Key (on Linux) or any other system determined key.

- (2016-06-02) Paul Kang: super boss; works great. what's a meta key anyway? (not that i use it)
- (2015-10-02) Jeremy Cahill: Works nicely. The extra bit of design effort put into the configuration page hasn't gone unnoticed. CRX matches github source and does not appear to be riddled with malware... yet. ;) Am submitting some issues on github re: extended keymapping options, reverse functionality in incognito mode (open link in normal window), etc.
- (2015-09-25) Nacho: Great app that works for incognito browsing. It would be lovely if you could solve my worst annoyance, which is wanting to open a currently visited page (in Standard mode) in Incognito. Now, I have to press Ctrl+Shift+N, get back to the Standard windows, and copy or drag the URL to the Incognito Window. Many thanks

During installation Chrome asks to allow "Read and change all your data on the websites you visit" - this sounds scary, can't it require less permissions? - (2016-08-07, v:1.5.0) Mike G: Test works but not otherwise
Is there anything that could interfere with your App? If i test , any of the combination hotkeys work fine but if i save a link as a shortcut to my desktop, i cannot get anything to work as it should Does Chrome need to be opened already to a regular page? Even that doesn't work when I tested though. If I COULD find a way to do this, it is a much needed ability. Thanks - (2016-03-30, v:1.4.0) Matthew Eng: Key-ncognito does not work on OneTab page?
The Key-ncognito extension does not work the OneTab page created by OneTab to house all the saved tabs. Is this because the OneTab page is a file/extension page? If so, would you please consider adding that as a feature in the next update? Thanks.
