MP1 Web Extension WriteUp

Overview and Usage

In this project, I made a chrome web extension that could change the current tab to incognito mode, also it will delete the browser history of this tab. To use this web extension, load unpacked web extension in the chrome extensions page. Then, on the tab you want to change to incognito, click the button in the extension section on the top right corner of the brower.
