Depending on how we are going to use the internet , browsers usually offer us various types of operation. To a large extent, parameters related to privacy and security enter into games, everything will depend on the needs of each user. Both Google Chrome and the rest of the programs of this type, offers us a private or incognito window that not everyone knows well.
When we talk about the fact that many people do not know this incognito window well, we specifically mean that they do not know what its limitations really are. And that generally the browsers themselves offer us a series of information when opening a window of this type so that we are clear about it. We must bear in mind that some kind of private mode is a feature that any browser implements now.
If we focus on Google Chrome , this mode is called Incognito Window and we can open it by just clicking on the corresponding option in the main menu of the program.
Chrome redesigns the Incognito window
But as seen in some new updates, Google is updating the look of this useful feature. In some Canary versions of Chrome, Google has implemented a new design of this Incognito window. As some users have seen, this has appeared recently, we refer to the renewed Incognito window, although it is disabled by default.
Everything indicates that in the coming weeks this new Incognito window will replace the current one. This is something that will take place on the Android, Windows , Linux, Chrome OS, and Mac versions of the world’s most popular browser. It is worth mentioning that this new version does not change the general appearance drastically. In reality, what changes is the legal notice that the browser has used for a long time.
Instead of saying what kind of information Chrome won’t save and who can keep seeing your activity, Google now explains more clearly what Incognito mode does. Obviously at the same time in the new window you want to make clear what this Incognito mode does not do. At the same time, it is interesting that the option to block third-party cookies with this new design has also been eliminated.
Reasons for the change coming to Chrome
This more explanatory and easy-to-understand design is quite likely the answer to a lawsuit earlier this year. The lawsuit occurred in the United States with an amount of at least 5,000 million dollars. The reason for this is because Incognito mode continues to allow websites, including Google’s, to collect personal information from users.
Hence, from now on, the search giant wants to make it much clearer to users what an Incognito window can and cannot do. Of course, this new information panel still does not directly say that Google continues to collect browsing data in this private mode , which is precisely one of the keys to the demand.
