How to Enable an Extension in Chrome’s Incognito Mode

Google Chrome

By default, Google Chrome does not run extensions in Incognito mode because they could potentially compromise your privacy. But, if you'd like to give an extension permission to work in private browsing mode, it's easy to do. Here's how.

First, open "Chrome." Click the "Extensions" icon in the toolbar, which looks like a puzzle piece. When a menu pops up, select "Manage extensions."

In Chrome, click the Extensions button and select "Manage extensions."

If you don't see a puzzle piece button in the menu bar, click the vertical ellipses button (three vertical dots) and select More tools > Extensions from the menu.

When the Extensions tab appears, locate the name of the extension you'd like to enable in Incognito mode and click the "Details" button beside it.

On the Chrome Extensions page, click "Details."

On the extension's details page, scroll down and locate the "Allow in incognito" option. Click the switch beside it to turn it on.

Warning: Extensions you enable in Incognito Mode may record your browsing history or other private details and could potentially share that data with a third party. They'll work just like they will in standard browsing mode. Make sure you absolutely trust the extension before giving it access to your private browsing.

In Chrome, click the "Allow in Incognito" switch to turn it on.

If you need to do the same with any other extensions, click the back button once, then visit each extension's "Details" page. Enable "Allow in incognito" for each extension you'd like to use in Incognito mode.

When you're done, close the "Extensions" tab and the setting will take effect immediately. You'll be able to use the extensions you enabled in Incognito mode, and they will still be active in non-private browsing mode as well. Happy browsing!

Why Can’t I See the Burn Bar on My Apple Fitness+ Workouts?

Posted: 12 Jan 2021 11:37 AM PST

The Burn Bar is how Apple Fitness+ adds a community aspect to its workouts. It compares your calorie burn to other people who've also done the workout and tells you how you stack up. But sometimes you won't see the Burn Bar. What gives?

What the Burn Bar Shows

First, let's quickly recap what the Burn Bar actually shows. It compares how many calories you've burned in the past two minutes of your workout (and at the end, the average for the whole workout) to people who are roughly the same age, weight, and gender (so newbies aren't compared to elite athletes). You're given a ranking—"Behind the Pack," "In the Pack," "Middle of the Pack," "Front of the Pack," or "Ahead of the Pack"—based on how you're doing.

The Burn Bar Takes Two Minutes to Appear

Since the Burn Bar is based on how hard you've gone over the previous two minutes of your workout, it doesn't appear until after you've actually worked out for two minutes. If you're not seeing the Burn Bar at the very start of a workout, this is probably why.

The Burn Bar Only Shows on Certain Workouts

Strength workouts aren't about burning calories.

The Burn Bar only shows up on workouts where the aim is to burn calories. Some workouts, like Strength, Yoga, and Mindful Cooldowns, have different goals. The Burn Bar won't appear in workouts like these because it's not a good measure of performance.

In a Strength workout, for example, your goal is to perform high-quality repetitions that build muscle, not to get your heart rate up by bouncing around. The Burn Bar can't compare your reps to other people's, so Fitness+ won't show it.

The Burn Bar Might Be Turned off

After your first workout, you get the option to disable the Burn Bar. If you did that by mistake—or deliberately turned off the Burn Bar at some point—you might need to turn it on.

In a workout, tap the metrics icon in the bottom right of the screen.

Tap the toggle to the right of "Burn Bar" to turn it on.

If the Burn Bar option is already enabled on this screen, you're probably not seeing it for one of the other reasons—you might need to wait two minutes, or it might not be relevant to your current workout.

How to Start Google Assistant Routines From Your Home Screen

Posted: 12 Jan 2021 10:34 AM PST

"Routines" might be Google Assistant's most powerful feature, especially if you have smart devices around your home. You can automate several tasks with a single command. To make Routines even easier to use, you can add home screen shortcuts.

Google includes several pre-made Routines in the Google Home app, but you can create your own custom Routines as well. There's everything from automating your workday to improving bedtime to adjusting the lights based on whether you're home or away.

One downside to Routines is that they're supposed to be started with a voice command. That's fine most of the time, but in some situations, it's not ideal. The easiest method is to create a home screen shortcut that will immediately run the Routine with a tap.

Note: Home screen shortcuts are only supported on Android devices. At the time of writing, you cannot add a shortcut to an iPhone or iPad from the Google Home app.

First, open the Google Home app on your Android device, then tap the "Routines" button in the top section.

Select the Routine that you want to create a shortcut for.

A pop-up window will appear with a home screen icon for the Routine. You can tap and hold the icon to place it manually on your home screen or select "Add Automatically" to have it placed for you.

Now, with the icon on your home screen, you can simply tap it to run the Routine. A Google Assistant screen will appear and execute the commands.

That's it! This is a great way to put your most-used Routines within easy reach.
