Google Chrome launches a new incognito mode update

You must not have heard things like Google Chrome trying to catch up with Microsoft's Edge browser. Since Microsoft's web browser has made a lot of changes and became loaded with several useful features that Chrome lacks. In terms of features, this has made Chrome below par as compared to Edge hence provoked Google to plan on something that helps Chrome rise up once again.

One of Edge's features that got appreciation from the users is their "Set Aside Tabs," which allows the users to create a list of different websites that catches your attention, but you don't have enough time to read all of them. This list helps the users get back to the web pages they saved and read any of it whenever free. This is a pretty time-saving feature where you don't have to recall the page or search your browser history to find it.

Google is working on a similar feature, which will be called "Read Later." A number of users have reported that they can see the Read Later button on Chrome already; however, it doesn't work yet.

Another update brought by Google is for Chrome Canary, where users can open the incognito tab using a shortcut. Many people prefer browsing on the incognito window due to privacy concerns because they don't want their browser history to be saved or tracked. Users with Chrome Canary can enable the experimental flag, i.e., "chrome://flags/#enable-incognito-shortcut-on-desktop," which will help them to open this mode without having to open normal Chrome first. This update will be pretty convenient for people who prefer incognito mode over regular Chrome and also for those who don't want the guest users to use regular Chrome as they have all their logins on it.
