If you’ve ever tried taking screenshots of webpages opened in incognito mode, then you should see a notification, “Couldn’t save screenshot”. But there’s a workaround by which you can capture screenshots of webpages opened in incognito mode.
Back in 2018, Google removed the support of taking screenshots in incognito mode. The feature was removed from the incognito mode due to the privacy concerns. But the newer Google Chrome 89 has hidden flag stashed inside developer tools that lets people take screenshot in incognito mode.
