Google earlier introduces a fingerprint unlock functionality for Incognito tabs, which is now rolling out for more Android users as a part of Data Privacy Day. This feature lets you keep your browsing history private under your fingerprint.

Notably, this feature is rolling out for more Android users, but it is still not widely available. However, we can expect that the company will expand this feature for every Android user soon, in order to take their privacy to another level. Additionally, you can even use your password or pin instead of a fingerprint.

Not only this, but Chrome is also expanding the Safety Check feature with more personalized recommendations and reminders about what you have previously shared with websites and find those controls in one place.

For your information, this is an optional feature you can enable or disable it according to your preference. But keeping it enabled will enhance your privacy. It needs only two steps to get started, visit the Privacy and Security settings of the app. Then select the Lock Incognito tabs when you leave Chrome and enable the toggle.
