Open incognito sites on Chrome
Per Google Chrome we can install the Auto Incognito Mode extension, which allows you to create a list of websites to automatically open in incognito mode.
We can write the sites to open incognito manually in the extension list or we can open a site normally and then press the extension button to add it automatically. You can also give a Name to each added site, which is what appears by clicking on the extension, in order to hide the list of sites that you always want to open incognito. After adding, let's try to open a site added to the list: we will notice that the still open tab of the site closes automatically in Chrome to open in an incognito window.

From now on, pressing this shortcut on the desktop will immediately open Chrome in incognito mode, for all the sites we want to visit.

Per Firefox we can open certain sites in disguise using the Open in Private Mode extension, a simple add-on that provides a button to open the tab displayed in private mode.

To proceed, press again at the top right on the menu with the three lines, click on options, let's get to the menu Privacy and security and, next to the section History settings, select the item Non save the history; in the same menu we scroll until we find the item Delete cookies and website data when Firefox closes, which should be activated immediately. To make the incognito mode even more effective, let's also go to the General menu and remove the check mark next to the item Restore the previous session.
