Google is developing a new Chrome feature to boost user privacy by automatically hiding sensitive information during screen sharing or recording on Android devices.

What is This Update About from Chrome?

Chrome for Android is testing a new feature that automatically hides sensitive information, like passwords and credit card details, during screen sharing or recording. Discovered by researcher Leopeva64, this feature ensures private data is protected by redacting the entire content area when such details are detected on the page.

Where Can This Update Work Efficiently?

The feature will only work on Android V and newer versions. Chrome on Android users can look forward to this update soon, though Google hasn’t given a specific release date. However, users may be able to test it in Chrome Canary within the next few weeks.

Revealing How To Close All Incognito Tabs All Together

To the screen redaction feature, Chrome Canary for Android now allows users to close all incognito tabs at once. This much-anticipated feature enhances privacy by letting users quickly exit private browsing sessions without having to close each tab individually.

It offers more convenience by keeping users in the app while switching to non-private browsing, ensuring sensitive information is cleared instantly and reducing the risk of accidental data exposure.
