Google patents automatic Incognito mode
Web security is a hot topic, and Google is at the forefront of it all with its popular Chrome browser. Today’s news revolve around a new patent Google has been granted, which would allow them to automatically switch you to Incognito (or private) mode depending on the nature of the website you are browsing.
And no, we are not just talking about your naughty night-time websites. This seems to be more focused on privacy and security. This feature would stop your browser from saving information when, say, a page asks you for credit card information, or when a secure log in dialog shows up.
Opinion: Google applied for this back in 2011, so it has been a work in progress. We will likely see this feature come up soon!
