iPhone and iPad owners will surf more comfortably in the future – at least if they use Chrome for iOS. Google has equipped the browser with a practical feature that protects privacy. The advantages become apparent when interacting with other apps. But in Germany we still have to wait.

With Safari, there is a very powerful browser on iOS devices, but quite a few iPhone and iPad owners still use Chrome. In the latest version, Google has given the browser a useful function.

Google Chrome opens links incognito on request

From now on you can Open links from third-party apps incognito when prompted. Before opening, the Chrome browser then asks whether the link should be opened regularly or incognito. This can be very useful in everyday life to separate your browsing activities. For example, anyone who receives an embarrassing Google link via email can easily open it incognito and does not run the risk of it being saved in the Google search history (source: 9to5Google).

The new incognito feature can be activated directly within Chrome for iOS: Chrome -> Settings -> Privacy & Security. With our editorial device (iPhone 12) with the latest Chrome version, the function was not yet available. Google is probably rolling them out in waves. It might take a while before it reaches all iPhone and iPad users.

If the iPhone memory is full, you have to clean up – we show how to do it:

iPhone 14: Biggest Apple flop of 2022?

As the year draws to a close, it’s time to look back. At Apple, 2022 was again characterized by great success. But even the cult manufacturer didn’t get by without a spot on its clean slate. Ironically, according to a Twitter survey, the iPhone 14 is said to be the biggest Apple flop of the year. The 10th generation iPad didn’t go down quite as well as Apple might have hoped, either.
