Unlock Ultimate Browser Privacy with Windows 11’s Game-Changing Incognito Mode Boost
Microsoft Takes Steps to Improve Chrome’s Incognito Mode Privacy
The latest update from Microsoft has shed some light on their efforts to prioritize user privacy in incognito mode on Chrome. For once, I’m pleased to see a change that aligns with my own concerns and those of many PC users. As someone who’s been frustrated by the slew of issues in Windows 11 24H2, this update is a welcome respite.
Disabling Cloud Clipboard and Media Previews in Incognito Mode
The latest update has disabled Google Chrome’s ability to save clipboard history when browsing in incognito mode on both Windows 11 and Windows 10. This means that your copied content will no longer be saved to the Cloud Clipboard, which allows you to cut and paste across devices with the same Google account. This change makes sense, as incognito mode is meant to provide a private browsing experience.
Volume Adjustments and Media Previews in Incognito
When adjusting the volume while watching videos in incognito mode, a media preview would typically display the title of the content being played. However, this is no longer the case, and instead, the update shows a message indicating that a site is playing media. This change brings incognito mode a step closer to its intended purpose, allowing users to browse privately without revealing their online activities.
What’s Next for Windows 11 24H2?
While I’m relieved to see Microsoft taking steps to prioritize privacy, I remain hopeful that they will address the ongoing issues with Windows 11 24H2. It’s disheartening to see new patches introducing new problems, which can be frustrating for users. As Microsoft continues to shift its focus towards Windows 11, it’s essential that the operating system is in top shape for both desktop and handheld gaming PCs, where competition from SteamOS is growing.
