Google Chrome is working on a new security and privacy feature that’s designed to disguise all sensitive credentials of users during screen sharing/recording.
The tech giant’s latest offering will ensure all passwords, credit card information, and other sensitive details on Chrome mobile remain hidden. This will be applicable when the user shares their screen or carries out screen recording through Android devices.
Currently, Chrome browser disables screen recording when done through its incognito mode. Now, that won’t be necessary when you’re using regular tabs. Moreover, screen recording and sharing will be equipped with an added security layer to fix previous issues.
After it’s enabled, Google says any sensitive field featuring credit cards and passwords on the same page will disappear entirely. However, the feature would only work for Android V or any other Android device, as confirmed by Google in its latest description.
At the moment, the feature is yet to go live. It’s designed to disguise all kinds of sensitive information present on a page by completely disguising all the information on the screen. For now, it’s not quite clear when this feature will launch for Chrome users on Android. However, as per browser research expert @Leopeva64’s finding, we know that users on Chrome Canary can make the most of it in the next few weeks.
In other news, we did hear about Leo spotting a new option across Chrome Android. This allows users the chance to shut down any incognito tabs that they have open at the time.
The news of the latest test comes out at a time when we see Google vowing to provide more security and privacy to its Gemini chatbot users.
