Screen sharing can be risky, and Google has a new tool that can save people from this.
A new experimental feature has been added to Google Chrome that, if enabled, will automatically block “sensitive form fields” that include things like credit cards and passwords when a user is sharing or recording their screen from Android, according to a feature spotted by Beeping Computer.
The feature is currently in testing and hasn’t been made available yet, but according to Bleeping Computer , users of the developer version of Chrome Canary should get access to it sometime next month.
Before you screen share, you should close any tabs that contain sensitive information. If you don’t, this new Chrome feature could save you a lot of trouble. It’s worth noting that Chrome already prevents users from sharing or recording their screen in an incognito window, so in a sense, the incognito mode protection will be carried over to the regular Chrome view.
