    Chrome now won’t open an incognito window unless you’re signed into a regular window.

    If you try, it just opens a regular window and tells you to sign in.

      Are you talking about the “Make Chrome your own” page that walks you through a few customization options before asking if you want to sign in? You can just select “No thanks” and you’re not signed in. Incognito windows work just fine.

      Or are you talking about the “Set up your new Chrome profile” screen that pops up when you make a new profile? It shows two options: Sign in [to Google] and “Continue without an account”. “Continue without an account” just has you name the new profile to distinguish it from any others you may have and then lets you start using it. Incognito windows work just fine.

      This is Chrome on the desktop by the way.
