LeanFT Opening Browser in Incognito Mode

Question

Problem: LeanFT in C# doesn't have a way to open the browser in incognito mode unfortunately. I am unable to add -incognito to path as I don't have admin rights. What can I do? I was thinking Sendkeys(“^+N”); but not sure how to do that via keyboard or if it would work as browser is already instantiated.

Has anyone else run into this problem? It's really cumbersome like I said since LeanFT doesn't allow incognito mode to be runned automatically.

You should use process.Start to start Chrome, and browser.Attach to a description to attach to the opened browser.

Here's the idea roughly:

using System.Diagnostics;
...
Process process = new Process();
// Configure the process using the StartInfo properties.
process.StartInfo.FileName = "chrome";
process.StartInfo.Arguments = "-incognito www.somesite.com";
process.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Maximized;
process.Start();

BrowserFactory.Attach(new BrowserDescription
{
    Url = "www.somesite.com"
});
...

But as Motti said in the comments , Attach will not work without the LeanFT extension enabled - which is disabled in incognito
