Description

I can not use LinkHints.activateModeToOpenInNewTab in Incognito Mode, even when I add a custom mapping (map w LinkHints.activateModeToOpenInNewTab) it will simply open the link in the current tab. Any Ideas?

Thanks

Start by reproducing LinkHints.activateModeToOpenInNewTab in Chrome Incognito Mode, including the custom mapping shown in the issue.
