Why?

I frequently need to open a page from my history in a private tab:

  1. to see a product as if I were a newcomer or a different user; (I'm a web designer)
  2. to avoid being tracked;
  3. to view pages that use cookies to trigger paywalls

What I've tried

Unfortunately, adding this functionality isn't as simple as adding a modifier brand in Alfred and calling your shell command open -a "/Applications/Safari.app" "{query}" with slightly different arguments. Opening private windows in Safari is more complicated than that—complicated enough that we can't expect every Alfred user who wants this feature to recreate it.

What I'd like to happen

Follow this Q&A to open the URL in a new private tab if the user holds : Open an URL in Safari with Private Browsing.
