  4. Thank you very much! that’s exactly what I was looking for.
    And seeing that Opera allows a private mode tab in a normal Opera windows – wow! that’s the best of all browsers.

    Bye bye Chrome!

  5. Simon, it is quite simple.

    Just right click on the Opera shortcut icon on the desktop and select Properties.

    Copy Opera shortcut path (C:\Program Files\Opera\opera.exe) from the Target field.

    Right click on the desktop click New – Shortcut and paste previously copied path and leave a space and type –newprivatetab (C:\Program Files\Opera\opera.exe –newprivatetab), click Next and name it Opera private.
    That’s it.

  6. I’d like to know how I can permanently turn on private browsing. Like with Google Chrome you can put “- incognito” in the shortcut info on your desktop and it automatically starts in incognito (private browsing) mode.
