Google To Fix Chrome’s Incognito Mode Bug To Boost Web Privacy

Google finally patches Chrome’s Incognito Mode loophole, the bug allows websites to detect whether a user is surfing in privacy mode. Technically speaking the incognito mode allows users a private browsing session where no history is recorded and tracking data is wiped out upon exit.

Chrome has an old flaw that allowed developers to easily find if a user is visiting in incognito mode. Google finally came out with a solution to resolve the issue and it will be released soon in the upcoming version of Google Chrome.

According to 9to5google, the fix will arrive in Chrome 74 before being enabled by default 2 milestones later or Chrome 76. As per the source Chrome will follow a new way to create a fully private environment by creating a virtual file system using RAM. Once a user is done and exits the browser all data is completely deleted offering users full private browsing.

Users still have ample of different options to visit sites in full private mode either by using a different browser like Firefox, Safari or by using a proxy site.
