New feature of Chrome browser on Android: fingerprint verification is required to return to the seamless tab.

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Coje_He for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, September 17 (Xinhua)-- in 2020, Google began adding a "Privacy Screen" feature to its Google App on Apple's iOS. Users can set the App to face authentication or fingerprint recognition before opening App. Google recently added a similar new feature to its Chrome browser on Android.

Google has added the ability to lock seamless tabs on Chrome browsers on Android, 9to5Google reported today. When the user opens the scratch-free tabs and exits the Chrome browser, the Chrome browser locks the trace-free tabs. If the user wants to reopen these seamless tabs, they have to go through fingerprint identification or password authentication.

At the bottom of the unlock seamless tab, there is an option to open other tabs, which means that this feature can effectively protect personal privacy without interfering with the normal use of the browser. It is reported that Google Chrome browser has not officially launched the feature, but users can access the "chrome://flags/#incognito-reauthentication-for-android" page to open the feature in advance. If the user wants to turn this feature off, it can be turned off in the Settings-Security and Privacy-Lock Trackless tab.

CTOnews.com learned that on the iOS side, this feature can already be used in App such as Google Drive, Search, Fi, Chrome, and Authenticator.
