If you want to use flags when opening the browser like opening an incognito window (`--incognito` flag), you can set `open` to an object. The object accepts all [open](https://www.npmjs.com/package/open) options, `app` property must be an array. The first element in the array must be the browser name and the other following elements are the flags you want to use. For example:

__webpack.config.js__

```javascript
module.exports = {
//...
devServer: {
open: {
app: ['Google Chrome', '--incognito', '--other-flag']
}
}
};
```

Usage via the CLI
