Google is preparing an update to Chrome for Android that will increase browser privacy when recording a screen in the browser. The new feature will automatically hide confidential information such as credit card details, passwords, etc. This was reported by Bleeping Computer.
Currently, Chrome automatically hides the entire screen during recording if an incognito tab is open, but now this feature will work during normal use of the browser. It is currently being tested in the Canary build of the browser.
The description of the new feature says that when it is enabled, sensitive information that appears on the page will be hidden. Similar restrictions will apply to live screen recording, screen streaming, and other similar activities. The update will work in the browser on smartphones with Android 5 and higher.
It is not yet known when the update will be released to the public version of the browser.
