Google Chrome’s incognito mode lets you browse the internet without Google taking note of everything you do and saving it to history. With an additional parameter you can protect your private browsing from outside eyeswith the fingerprint reader.
Last year, Google Chrome added fingerprint protection for incognito tabs, but even today the feature isn’t always active. we tell you how you can protect your chrome tabs with fingerprintsso that only you can come back to it.
A more private incognito mode
Since its inception, the browser’s incognito mode has focused more on what you do there not being saved in your Google account, but that in itself doesn’t stop someone from taking your mobile a few moments later and see your open tabs in incognito mode, if you haven’t closed them before. Google Chrome alerts you with a notification if you leave your incognito tabs open, but now there’s an even safer and more proactive way to keep what’s wanted in incognito mode, incognito mode.
The adjustment in control allows us protect our incognito tabs of Chrome with the fingerprint of the mobile, although whether or not it appears in Google Chrome depends on Google’s desires. The option appeared to me a few weeks ago and now it seems to be gone. If this is also your case, you can bring it back.
To ensure that you will be able to fingerprint protect your Google Chrome tabs, you will need to modify a Chrome flag called #reauthentication-incognito-for-android. Change its value to Enabled and restart Google Chrome for the changes to take effect.
Next, open Google Chrome settings from its menu and enter Privacy and security. You will then see an option that was not there before: Block incognito tabs when closing Chrome. If you enable it, your incognito sessions will be more incognito than ever.
Since then, every time you exit and return to Chrome, You will need to identify yourself with the biometrics of the mobile to see all incognito tabs still open.
