What is searched for in incognito mode, that stays in incognito mode.
The incognito mode of Google Chrome allows you to browse the Internet without Google taking note of everything you do and saving it in the history. With an additional adjustment you can protect your private browsing from outside eyes , with 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 a fingerprint , so that only you can return to them.
A more private incognito mode
Since its inception, the incognito mode of the browser focuses more on what you do there not being saved in your Google account, but in itself it does not prevent someone from taking your mobile moments later and seeing your open tabs in incognito mode , yes you didn’t close 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 searched for in incognito mode, in incognito mode.
How to activate the hidden functions of Google Chrome and which are the best
The control setting allows us to protect our incognito Chrome tabs with the mobile’s fingerprint, 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 have vanished. If it is also your case, you can bring it back.
To make sure you’ll be able to fingerprint protect your Google Chrome tabs, you’ll need to change a Chrome Flag called #incognito-reauthentication-for-android . Change its value to Enabled and restart Google Chrome for the changes to take effect.
Then, open the 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 activate 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 your mobile biometrics to see the incognito tabs that are still open.
