The Google browser is getting many feature updates in the last few days. We already reviewed the new autofill and taskbar thumbnail feature that has been added to the latest developer releases of the Google Chrome browser.
The latest versions of Chromium, the Open Source core of Google Chrome, outline another interesting feature that will be available soon in the web browser as well: Allowing extensions to run in incognito mode.
Incognito Mode is the private browsing mode in Google Chrome. This mode prevents that data from that browsing session will be recorded in the web browser so that no traces of it can be found after ending the session.
No extensions are enabled by default and in previous versions of the web browser. The main reason for this behavior is that some extensions do record data which could interfere with the incognito mode.
The latest Chromium releases now give the user the choice whether to enable an extension in incognito mode. It would for instance be no problem to activate extensions that do not record data so that they can be used in incognito mode as well.
The option to allow extensions to run in incognito mode is available in the Google Chrome extension manager. Placing a checkmark in the “Allow this extension to run in incognito” box will enable that extension in the private browsing mode.
The feature is currently only available in Chromium with the likelihood that it will be implemented in one of the next Google Chrome development version updates.
