MenosFios Office. How to enable privacy in Chrome incognito browsing on Android

3915

Despite not being completely unknown on the Internet, Chrome's anonymous browsing is an advantage for users. It can guarantee the user some privacy, by not locally recording the websites where they browse and what they have been visiting.

Of course, when giving access to a device, these tabs can be easily visited and consulted if they are open. Google wanted to change that on Android and brought something new, ensuring that Chrome's incognito browsing tabs can only be accessed with authentication.

Many users choose to use Chrome mostly with incognito tabs. These offer privacy, not total and not on the Internet, but still allow nothing to be recorded on the devices used.

Of course, by handing a smartphone to another user, they can easily view the open incognito tabs and the websites being visited. This may not be to everyone's liking, as they can now have more privacy on Android, with a simple change.

To activate this option, which now comes to Chrome on Android, simply open the browser menu in the top right corner. Here you must choose the Privacy and Security option, followed by activating Block incognito browsing tabs when leaving Chrome.

From that moment on, whenever the user leaves Chrome, to go to another option or to the Android main screen, the user will receive a request from the browser. You will have to authenticate yourself, using your fingerprint or the defined pattern/pin.

   

Only after this step is carried out successfully will you be able to access Chrome and the Incognito browsing tabs. This is a protection that cannot be circumvented and guarantees that all information present is truly private and with privacy guaranteed.

If you need to lend your smartphone regularly or really want to block it your smartphone's browser, then this is the option to take into account. You can immediately be sure that the anonymous browsing tabs are inaccessible and only the user can access them.
