To open incognito mode in Opera GX, use Ctrl + Shift + N on Windows or Command + Shift + N on Mac. You can also click the Opera GX menu in the top-left corner and choose New Private Window.

Quick steps

  1. Open Opera GX.
  2. Press Ctrl + Shift + N.
  3. Or open the Opera GX menu and select New Private Window.

What it does

Private mode opens a separate window that does not save browsing history or cookies after you close it.

Always start private

If you want Opera GX to open directly in private mode, add --private to the browser shortcut target.

Note

Private browsing helps with local privacy on your device, but it does not make you invisible to websites, your school, your employer, or your internet provider.

TL;DR: Press Ctrl + Shift + N or go to the Opera GX menu and click New Private Window.
