Users exploring the experimental Canary version of Google Chrome, known as Google’s most innovative web browser iteration, have stumbled upon a remarkable hidden feature that promises to revolutionize private media consumption in Incognito mode.
This groundbreaking feature, aptly named “Hide media metadata when in Incognito,” introduces a novel layer of privacy by concealing media content and its associated metadata from the operating system’s media control panel. This innovation empowers embedders to discreetly hide media activity while users enjoy their content in Incognito mode.
Initial reports on this intriguing development emerged from Windows Latest, which not only uncovered the feature but also found compelling evidence of its existence in the Chromium Gerrit. Chromium Gerrit serves as the web-based platform for Google’s open-source Chromium project, where developers contribute to the browser’s codebase. Several references to this newly minted feature further cement its credibility.
