Block websites in Incognito

Turn it on in three steps

1. Open chrome://extensions in the address bar.
2. On Claryda's card, click “Details”.
3. Turn on “Allow in Incognito”. Claryda restarts.

Claryda's welcome page, which opens when you install it, takes you there in one click with “Open Claryda's page”.

Allow in Incognito

What blocks there afterwards

• The same list blocks in private windows: your sites, your categories, your time limits.
• The blocked page shows in the private window, as in a normal one.
• A running Pomodoro shuts limited sites there too.

What stays open

• Guest mode runs no extension: Claryda blocks nothing there.
• Another Chrome profile has its own extensions: Claryda blocks only in the profile where it's installed.
• Another browser without Claryda.

To close these too, it takes a method at the computer's level: the hosts file blocks in every browser and every profile, and a Chrome policy can turn off Guest mode and Incognito (BrowserGuestModeEnabled, IncognitoModeAvailability). See Block a website on Chrome: 4 ways.

Edge, Brave and Opera

These browsers have the same setting on the extension's page: edge://extensions, brave://extensions or opera://extensions, then Claryda's details. In Edge, private windows are called InPrivate.

Questions

Why does Chrome turn extensions off in Incognito?

An extension can see the pages you visit, so Chrome lets you choose which ones run in private windows.

Does Claryda see my private browsing?

Claryda receives nothing of what you visit, in private windows or elsewhere.

And on a phone?

Claryda works on computers only.
