How to use Incogniton's extension manager

In this article we explain how to use Incogniton’s extension manager. By using this functionality you can easily and quickly install browser extensions for your new or existing browser profiles.

Adding extensions in Incogniton

1

Navigate to Google Chrome webstore

Go to the Google Chrome webstore through your regular Chrome browser and find the desired extension. Copy the extension URL from the toolbar - you'll need this for installation.

If you plan to install multiple extensions across multiple profiles, consider pasting the URLs into a text editor for efficiency.

2

Add extension in Incogniton

Go the Incogniton app, create a new browser profile or edit an existing one and navigate to Extensions in the left sidebar. Paste the Chrome Web Store URL into the link bar and click Add to profile. Then click Update profile or Create profile - the extension will be installed automatically when you launch the browser profile.

Adding extensions for multiple browser profiles

You can also install an extension for multiple profiles at once.

1

Select multiple browser profiles

• In Profile Management, select the profiles you want to modify.

• Click Action - Modify - Set browser extensions.

2

Add extension

The extension appears in the list below. Select it, click Add selected, then Save. The extension will be installed automatically when the selected profiles are started.

Adding pre-saved extensions

Using pre-saved extensions saves time when you reuse the same extensions across profiles. Here's how to add them.

1

Pre-save the extension

• Click Browser Management and go to General Extensions.

• Click Create extensions, paste the Chrome Web Store link, click Add extension, then Create extensions.

2

Add pre-saved extension to a browser profile

• Click the 3-bullet icon of a browser profile and click on Edit.

• Navigate to Extensions in the left menu.

• Select the extension from the list, click Add selected and then Update profile.

Removing an extension

You can remove installed extensions from profiles. There are two options:

• Remove all: remove all installed extensions from the profile(s).

• Remove selected: remove only the extensions you select.
