Simple browser in incognito mode

[mbowles201]

I need to create browser instance within WPF that runs the chromium browser in incognito mode (cachepath = ""). I dont need any other functionality (or can get it from the examples). I just dont see anything on setting that cachepath outside of the docs (no example).

CachePath is empty by default. There's no need to do anything if that's your required behaviour.

Update, I followed what this guy did (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55707524/how-to-store-and-restore-cookies-for-multiple-browser-instances-in-cefsharp) and created 2 instances of the browser in XAML, then set contexts after the Initialize() call with different cachepaths and I get the result I am looking for. I was following an MVVM pattern like the examples but the distinct cache and session would never work.

From memory the ChromiumWebBrowser instance is always created in the view in the examples, which is what I'd recommend. Creating a UserControl or a class inheriting from ChromiumWebBrowser to encapsulate the functionality is the general approach I recommend.

Best to avoid creating it in your viewmodel.

Thank you. I found the MVVM approach would not work. Now to work some WPF magic so I can allow the add and removal of tabs via code-behind. Should be fun.

If you are using the built in tabcontrol then make sure to read https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9794151/stop-tabcontrol-from-recreating-its-children

Thanks for that link. Right now I have a couple of xaml tags that I set the requestcontext right after Initialize(). That is working the way I want. I dont have it bound to a list, though, I guess I could do all the requestcontexts and then put them in a list (or while putting in the list) and test that.
