SurveyTester Extension can’t run in Incognito yet

To use SurveyTester in an Incognito window, Chrome needs permission to run the extension there.

Enable it in Chrome

  1. Open chrome://extensions
  2. Find SurveyTester Browser Extension in the list and click Details.

  3. Turn on Allow in Incognito.

  4. Come back here and reload this page.
Tip: If you don’t see the Allow in Incognito switch, your browser may be managed by company policy.

Using Microsoft Edge?

In Edge, Incognito is called InPrivate. Go to edge://extensions → SurveyTester → Details → enable Allow in InPrivate.

Survey started in Incognito mode

Your survey has been successfully opened in a separate Incognito window.

This tab was used only to start the Incognito session and may remain open in some cases.

You can safely close this tab now and continue testing in the Incognito window.

What happens next?

  • All survey interactions continue in the Incognito window
  • This tab is no longer needed
  • No data is lost if you close it

Install the SurveyTester Browser Extension

For an enhanced survey testing experience, install our browser extension. It streamlines communication with survey developers and makes testing simpler, faster, and more efficient.

Install in Chrome

  1. Click Install Browser Extension below to open the Chrome Web Store.
    Install Browser Extension
  2. In the Chrome Web Store, click Add to Chrome (and confirm if Chrome asks).

  3. Come back here and reload this page.

Using Microsoft Edge?

You can usually install Chrome Web Store extensions in Edge too, but you may need to enable Allow extensions from other stores in Edge’s extensions settings first.

Open edge://extensions and look for that toggle.

Note: If installation is blocked, your browser may be managed by company policy. In that case, please ask your IT admin to allow the SurveyTester extension.

Browser not supported

The SurveyTester Browser Extension is currently available only for Chromium-based browsers. It won’t run in Safari or Firefox.

What you can do

  1. Use a Chromium-based browser (recommended):
    Get Google Chrome Get Microsoft Edge Get Brave Get Opera

    After installing a Chromium browser, open this SurveyTester page again and install the extension.

  2. If you’re required to use Safari/Firefox due to company policy:
    Ask your IT admin to approve a Chromium browser for SurveyTester use, or provide a managed installation.

Why is this required?

SurveyTester uses a Chrome MV3 extension to integrate directly into survey pages and automate test runs. Safari and Firefox use different extension platforms, so the current extension cannot run there.

Another Incognito window is already open

SurveyTester detected that there is already an active Incognito window.

All Incognito windows share the same temporary browser session.

Cookies and survey data from another Incognito window may influence this test run.

Recommended action

For a clean test start, please close all other Incognito windows and then retry.

Advanced users can continue anyway if shared Incognito state is intentional.
