How to open all links in Incognito by default.

  1. Open Script Editor
  2. Create a new file and paste the code below
  3. Save it as /Applications/BrowserProxy.app
  4. Open the terminal and try opening a website with the new script: open -a /Applications/BrowserProxy.app https://google.com
  5. Install https://github.com/kerma/defaultbrowser and run defaultbrowser browserproxy to set the new script as the default browser
  6. Try clicking any links in external apps other than the browser itself and see them open in new Incognito tabs.

NOTE: I'm using Brave Browser as the target browser. You should change it to what suits your needs. Since Brave is a Chromium, changing every "Brave Browser" to "Google Chrome" should suffice.

Script code:

on open location this_URL
	do shell script "\"/Applications/Brave Browser.app/Contents/MacOS/Brave Browser\" --profile-directory=Default --incognito \"" & this_URL & "\""
end open location

You can introduce any depth of complexity here, or delegate the logic to a script written in your language of choice.
