Google Chrome is the most popular web browser on the planet and it has several tools to protect users’ privacy and security online. If you’re seriously concerned about privacy and want to tighten up your browser’s privacy vulnerabilities, you can use Chrome’s new Privacy Guide feature.
Developed at the Google Safety Engineering Center (GSEC), the Privacy Guide is a new feature of the Chrome browser version 100 and later, which helps you understand each privacy control in Chome with an explanation of each element. So users can easily make the changes as per their needs right from there.
Privacy Guide is available on all platforms (Windows, Mac, Android, Linux, Chrome OS, and Fuchsia) and will be accessible via the Privacy and security section of the Chrome settings menu. But it is currently available as an experimental feature in Chrome version 101.
