When looking at the command line option page for Mozilla (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Command_Line_Options), I noticed options for opening a private mode window (-private-window or -private-window URL).

Chrome also has an --incognito switch. (https://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/)

Maybe it would be nice to add a flag to allow for options?
