For those less familiar with Incognito mode, it is often referred to as “Private Browsing” in other browsers. It provides users with the ability to browse the internet without leaving any traces of their activity on their local computer. This mode enhances privacy by refraining from saving passwords, disabling suggestions in search engines and the address bar (as it does not track the data required for these suggestions), avoiding session saving, and not preserving bookmarks after the session is closed.
If you’re eager to test this groundbreaking feature yourself and have Chrome Canary installed, you can do so by following these simple steps:
- Type “Chrome://flags” into the Chrome address bar.
- Navigate to the “Hide media metadata in the flags menu when in Incognito” setting.
- Change the setting to “Enabled.”
The accompanying description for this setting clarifies its function: “When activated, your OS’ media player will conceal media metadata if you’re in an Incognito session.”
While Windows Latest suggests the presence of a flag for this feature in Chrome Stable (the version most users have), they encountered challenges enabling it during their tests. This indicates that the feature may become available to a broader audience in a future Chrome update, possibly coinciding with the highly anticipated new design expected to debut later this year.
