Turn it on and falcon won't index anything you visit for (a) an hour (b) 24 hours (c) indefinitely until user turns things back on.

Just file this under a potential enhancement.

Can't you just use the browser's incognito mode, which by default will disable add ons AND not store anything in the browser history / cache / etc?

If you don't want falcon to index it, you probably don't want it in Chrome's history either, in which case, why not just use Chrome's incognito mode (which doesn't run extensions unless you explicitly allow it to on a per-extension basis where the extension author has to also request that it has "allow in incognito" as an option on the Manage Extensions page)

Maybe you want to look at very long/complex documents that are worth keeping in your history, but not worth indexing. Think about long technical documentations which contain so many words that they would be brought up by Falcon no matters the search you make. And if not, at least for for the sake of CPU/storage on browsing such websites you may not want Falcon to handle them. In such cases, I believe a specific incognito mode for Falcon would be useful.

I think in this case you have to compromise and remember to use Incognito Mode.
