Launch private browsing
- Hover over a supported browser. Open the DockSpark panel from the browser's Dock icon.
- Choose the private action. Select the private or incognito entry from the same profile list.
- Approve Automation if asked. macOS may request consent the first time a browser action needs it.
What stays separate
The browser—not DockSpark—controls private browsing behavior, including history, cookies, extensions, and sign-in rules. DockSpark only provides the shortcut that asks the browser to open the private window. Safari uses a private window, Firefox uses global Private Browsing, and supported Chromium-based browsers use their incognito or private-window action.
Private browsing is not anonymity
Your network, employer, school, or visited websites may still observe activity. Review the privacy guidance for your browser.
