Google’s Chrome browser will now include a “Privacy Guide.” The tutorial will begin rolling out to M100 Chrome desktop users in the coming weeks, with the goal of providing a better grasp of the browser’s privacy settings.
Google says in a blog post that the guide was created by the Google Safety Engineering Center (GSEC) and that it offers a step-by-step tour of some of Chrome’s existing privacy and security safeguards. This is designed to allow Chrome users to make and maintain their privacy settings all in one place.
Users will “learn about the benefits, trade-offs, and privacy implications of each setting so you can readily grasp what occurs when a particular one is on or off” as they walk through the Privacy Guide, according to the post.
The Privacy Guide will initially include settings for cookies, history sync, Safe Browsing, and Improve Searches and Browsing. Google will add more settings to the guide over time based on community feedback.
The Privacy Guide will appear as a new card in the Chrome settings’ “Privacy and security” tab. By clicking the three dots in the top-right corner of your browser, you may access the settings. Google also claims that users need not be concerned if they are unable to complete the entire tour for the Privacy guide. All changes are recorded along the way, so you may pick up where you left off later.
