Google is testing a new feature for Chrome on Android that redacts sensitive form fields, like credit card details and passwords, during screen sharing and recording. The feature is under testing and may be available in Chrome Canary in the coming weeks. It aims to address the issue of leaking sensitive information during screen sharing.
Based on the meeting notes, here are the key takeaways:
1. Google is working on a feature to redact sensitive information, including credit card details and passwords, when sharing or recording your screen on Chrome for Android.
2. Currently, in incognito mode, Chrome does not allow capturing anything, but in regular tabs, sensitive information may be leaked when screen recording or sharing.
3. Google is testing a new experimental flag called “Redact sensitive content during screen sharing, screen recording, and similar actions” to address this issue. This feature will redact the entire screen when sensitive form fields are present.
4. The feature works on Android version V and above and will be first available to try in Chrome Canary in the next few weeks.
5. Additionally, there is a new option in Chrome Android that allows users to close all incognito tabs.
