Privacy / Incognito Mode Rule?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Frequently when I switch to chrome's incognito mode or the Privacy mode of 
firefox, I'd like to be able to switch to using Tor automatically. Currently 
this requires changing my Switchy! from auto switch mode to Tor proxy. Is there 
a way to automatically do this?

Same here. But this proxy setting (the tor proxy) should only affect incognito 
chrome tabs/windows. As surfing via tor is usually slow, I don't want it for 
the regular surfing.
This would make incognito mode and switch a nearly perfect replacement for Tor 
button from firefox, which does not exists for chrome.

I think Issue 329 can be merged into this, or vice versa.

Guys, setting up Tor with Chrome (using or not Switchy) in incognito is not the 
same as Tor button on Firefox. Unfortunately Chrome's API for extensions does 
not provide the methods that are necessary for an anonymous surfing. Further 
more, incognito only prevents the browser from storing information regarding 
the sites on your computer, it does not prevent information from being sent to 
the servers.

If I switch to incognito I want to use a proxy. I would like to see an option 
on the switch rules page (a tick box) that says "Switch to [Combo Box of Proxy 
Choices] when browsing in incognito mode.".

The check for this can be easily achieved using "tab.incognito" or 
"window.ingonito" (from the Chrome API 
https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/windows#type-Window 
https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/tabs#type-Tab ).
