Here’s a sample flow for chrome:

<Sequence sap2010:WorkflowViewState.IdRef="Sequence_1">
    <Sequence.Variables>
      <Variable x:TypeArguments="oi2:NativeMessagingMessageTab[]" Name="myTabs" />
    </Sequence.Variables>
    <ou:StartProcess WaitForExitTimeout="{x:Null}" WorkingDirectory="{x:Null}" Arguments="--incognito" Filename="C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" sap2010:WorkflowViewState.IdRef="StartProcess_1" WaitForExit="False" />
    <Delay Duration="[TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5)]" sap2010:WorkflowViewState.IdRef="Delay_1" />
    <on:GetTab Result="{x:Null}" Browser="chrome" sap2010:WorkflowViewState.IdRef="GetTab_1" Results="[myTabs]" />
    <WriteLine sap2010:WorkflowViewState.IdRef="WriteLine_1" Text="[&quot;URL: &quot; &amp; myTabs.First.url]" />
    <on:OpenURL UserDataFolderMode="{x:Null}" UserDataFolderPath="{x:Null}" Browser="chrome" sap2010:WorkflowViewState.IdRef="OpenURL_1" NewTab="False" Url="https://discourse.openiap.io/latest" />
    <on:GetTab Result="{x:Null}" Browser="chrome" Results="[myTabs]" sap2010:WorkflowViewState.IdRef="GetTab_2" />
    <WriteLine sap2010:WorkflowViewState.IdRef="WriteLine_2" Text="[&quot;URL: &quot; &amp; myTabs.First.url]" />
  </Sequence>

Please do note that:

• You need to give the NM a moment to connect (since the browser is externally started)
• You need to allow openrpa extension to run in incognito mode (go to chrome://extensions/ → find openrpa extension → details → toggle “allow in incognito mode” to true)

After that things should work normally.

Also, when getting a browser tab, you can check if it is in incognito mode with yourTabVariable.incognito (true/false), to make sure you’re catching the right one.
