If you care about privacy, you probably shouldn’t be using Chrome given that it’s owned and developed by Google, one of the most data-hungry corporations on the planet. But if you have to use Chrome, then you should be employing as many browser privacy tweaks as you can, like blocking third-party cookies and trackers.
And, of course, using Incognito mode when you don’t want your browsing history to be saved. But Incognito mode isn’t perfectly private—at least in the form it’s in right now—and Google is working on that.
According to a Chrome feature document (spotted by Windows Latest), Google is currently testing a new feature that blocks third-party scripts while in Incognito mode; specifically, third-party scripts that misuse browser APIs to track you and your activity without consent. A similar feature is already available in Edge, Firefox, and Safari.
It’s not yet clear when this new feature will be rolled out to the public, but sometime later this year wouldn’t be a bad bet.
