Chrome for Android makes switching in and out of Incognito faster 

There are a couple of ways to switch between normal browsing and Incognito mode in Chrome for Android. These existing methods are fairly quick and easy to do already, but there is still room for improvement. Google is working on a way to make switching back and forth even more efficient in the mobile browser.

First spotted by Leopeva64 on X (formerly Twitter), Chrome Canary for Android adds a way to quickly swap between your already open normal and Incognito tabs. By long pressing on the tab switcher context menu, you’ll see a new “Switch to Incognito” option. Conversely, if you’re in Incognito mode, this option changes to “Switch out of Incognito.”

This makes the process of switching back and forth between the two modes a little more efficient than before. It’s not exactly a life-changing feature by any means, but it does manage to reduce the number of steps needed to accomplish this task.

To take advantage of this feature, you’ll need to be using Chrome Canary and activate it with a flag. Whether it’s worth the time to download the Chrome Canary app and enable the flag just to use this feature is up to you.
