Google has released a new version of Chrome for Android. It looks like a minor update: a few small changes over here, an easier way to share content over there\u2026 But the people at <\/span>9to5Google<\/span><\/a> have figured out that Chrome 65 has a feature Google hasn\u2019t explained: <\/span>you can no longer take screenshots when using Incognito Mode.<\/b><\/p>\n

This notification will pop up if you try to take a screenshot in Incognito Mode:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In theory, this update makes sense. Incognito Mode was created so you can <\/span>visit pages with sensitive information<\/b>, whether about medical conditions, or… uh… for adult reasons. You don\u2019t want your browsing history of these pages to be kept. Specifically, you don\u2019t want your history, cookies, or any form data to be saved.<\/span><\/p>\n

Imagine that you accidentally take a screenshot. <\/span>That could put your privacy at risk. <\/b>That\u2019s why it makes sense that Chrome introduced this restriction. Though it\u2019s very strange that Google hasn\u2019t explained it. <\/span><\/p>\n

By the way, a little reminder: browsing in Incognito Mode or similar modes on other browsers doesn\u2019t stop pages from knowing that you\u2019ve visited them. <\/span>Same if you\u2019re browsing at work<\/b>. These modes are only good for concealing your privacy at home.<\/span><\/p>\n
