Incognito Tab Switch Flips Any Open Tab Over to Incognito Mode

Chrome: Incognito mode is a great way to browse the web without leaving a cookie trail of data behind on your computer, but you always have to manually open up a new tab in Chrome to actually use it. If you'd rather just have an easy toggle, Incognito Tab Switch makes it simple.

When you press the Incognito Tab Switch button, it opens up your current tab in an incognito window. Keep pushing the button, and each tab gets added to the new incognito session. If you enable the extension to work in incognito mode, you can also switch those tabs back to normal browser tabs with a click. It's handy for those moments when you want to quickly flip a browser tab over to private session and you don't feel like typing in all your info again.

Squishy IR-based Switch

To make this squishy button, you will need:

    - a squishy membrane (step 2 and 3 cover how to make this part)
- a custom PCB (step 4 and 5 cover how to make the PCB)
- IR emitter and detector pair
- 10Kohm resistor
- 82ohm resistor
- 22 AWG wire (preferably three colors)
- four #6 screws (length depends on your design, we use 10mm (0.39”))
- an Arduino (we use a Uno)
- screw driver that matches the four screws
- soldering iron

A few notes.

The soldering iron was late for the photoshoot, but you will still need one.

You will need the four screws to attach the squishy membrane and the PCB to the object you want to add the squishy button to. We use 10mm (0.39”) wood screws, which work well for our plastic prototype and the thickness of our button.

Go through the steps first as you may need some extra materials to make the squishy membrane and the PCB. We list a few options, some require more time, others require more handywork.
