It would seem like Google Chrome for Android will be receiving a whole new privacy option in the near future. Users will be able to easily remove the history of the most recent 15 minutes of their session with the click of a button thanks to this functionality. Although this has not been verified, a flag has been found in the Chromium Gerrit repository, which suggests that this may become available at some point in the not too distant future.
The flag that was discovered in Gerrit does not, as of this moment, indicate whether or not this data will include browsing history and account history. Nobody really knows what it will truly be able to remove once it is made available to the public. Even though it’s a fascinating feature, this one has been around for quite some time. In the early part of this year, Google included a feature that was similar to this one in its Android app. This feature enabled users to swiftly and simply remove search and account activity with the push of a button. The button is convenient since it eliminates the need to rummage around in the settings in order to erase the activity from the most recent 15 minutes.
Even while not all users may have a purpose for something like this, it’s encouraging to see Google providing people with more privacy alternatives. If you are the type of person who prefers not to leave any traces behind while surfing the internet, you always have the option to use Incognito Mode in Chrome or switch to a privacy-focused browser that does not keep any of your information on hand while it is being used. Both of these options are available to you. A virtual private network (VPN) is another option to consider if you want to ensure the highest level of protection possible using a multi-layered defense strategy.
At this time, the functionality has been spotted in the Chromium Gerrit; however, there is always the possibility that it will not be included in the final version of Chrome that is distributed for Android. If, on the other hand, you’re interested in giving Chrome a go, you can always install it on your Android or iOS mobile device or tablet in order to do so.
