The incognito tab in Google Chrome is a very useful feature for many people. With the help of this tab, users can ensure that their browsing history is kept confidential and their data is not recorded. Now, a new feature brought by Google seems to make those who use the incognito tab even happier.
Google announced in a blog post that it has introduced a feature for the incognito tab. Accordingly, users will now be able to lock their private tabs. The feature will be widely available for Android users. For iOS, there was already such an option.
With the new feature, users of your phone will not be able to open your browser and see your incognito tabs.
With the new biometric verification feature, it is aimed to prevent another person from entering your browser and incognito tabs when using your phone. If we open a little more, once you start using the browser, you will be able to open the incognito tab normally. However, when you switch to another application and return to these tabs from Chrome, you will need to unlock the lock you set.
Google states that options such as password, fingerprint or face recognition can be used for unlocking. Let’s add that there is no such locking feature for normal tabs.
The feature, which has started to be offered to Android users, can be activated from the ‘Privacy and Security’ section in the ‘Settings’ section of Chrome. Let’s not forget that it may not have come to everyone yet.
