If the user doesn't have Chrome, it will throw an exception like this:

    //chrome.exe http://xxx.xxx.xxx --incognito
    //chrome.exe http://xxx.xxx.xxx -incognito
    //chrome.exe --incognito http://xxx.xxx.xxx
    //chrome.exe -incognito http://xxx.xxx.xxx
    private static void Chrome(string link)
    {
        string url = "";

        if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(link)) //if empty just run the browser
        {
            if (link.Contains('.')) //check if it's an url or a google search
            {
                url = link;
            }
            else
            {
                url = "https://www.google.com/search?q=" + link.Replace(" ", "+");
            }
        }

        try
        {
            Process.Start("chrome.exe", url + " --incognito");
        }
        catch (System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception e)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("Unable to find Google Chrome...",
                "chrome.exe not found!", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
        }
    }
