Google plans to fix a bug in its FileSystem API that allowed websites to track users accessing them using incognito browsing with a new version of Chrome . The issue was discovered about a month ago.
The company confirmed that it is working to fix the issue, which will ensure that websites will no longer be able to identify users when they visit their sites using incognito mode. Google plans to fix the problem with the release of version 75 of its Chrome browser.
Once the new version is released, users will be able to access a website using incognito mode, without those websites being able to track them. If you want to try this new feature now, you can find it in Google Chrome Canary. To enable the feature in Chrome Canary, go to “ chrome://flags ” and search for the “ Filesystem API in Incognito ” flag . Enable it and restart the browser.
This feature will first be released in Chrome by Google, and since Microsoft is building Edge on the Chromium Engine, it is likely that Microsoft will enable this feature as well. Microsoft is already testing Edge through three different channels: the beta channel is updated every six weeks, the developer channel is updated every week, and the canary channel is updated daily. It is currently available for Windows 10 and will soon be available for Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, and macOS.
Now that Edge will be just as good as Chrome, since they will share the same engine, it is very likely that Google will lose a significant portion of its users.
