I've been diving 2 days now about how to open a Windowless (invisible, hidden) chrome incognito window from a chrome extension, it seems that chrome api doesn't allow it!! i want to avoid using tools as Selenium RC. Any idea?

are you talking about 'frameless window'? – Sungguk Lim Dec 19 '15 at 18:50

The closest possible thing would be a minimized window. – wOxxOm Dec 19 '15 at 22:46

It would help if you could elaborate on why you need to do this. – Daniel Herr Dec 20 '15 at 02:16

There's no way to hide an window from task bar with currently existing APIs. As workaround, you can open a new window with minimized state by using chrome.tabs.create – Sungguk Lim Dec 20 '15 at 06:10

@SunggukLim Yes i found there many limitations in the chrome api (for now) – Styxali Dec 21 '15 at 09:16

@DanielHerr I want exactly to query webpages anonymously from a chrome extension (For Data Mining Studies Project) – Styxali Dec 21 '15 at 09:19
