It appears that Google Chrome Canary on Android is testing a new feature that will make it easier to switch in or out of incognito tabs. According to Leopeva64 on social media platform X, Google is adding a new button in the tab switcher context menu.

With the new "Switch to Incognito" and "Switch out of Incognito" buttons in Chrome Canary for Android, users can quickly toggle between normal and incognito tabs. In order to use the feature, you need to enable the #tab-strip-incognito-integration flag.

The flag description reads, "migrates tab strip incognito switcher to the toolbar and adds options to tab switcher context menu – Android." As per this description, if you enable the flag, the tab switcher will offer you "Switch to Incognito" if you have a normal tab opened and "Switch out of Incognito" if you have an incognito tab opened.

The tab switcher context menu has new options to "switch to incognito" and "switch out of incognito" in Chrome Canary for Android, so you can quickly return to your already open incognito tabs:https://t.co/rzXnBfbN4x

To enable the flag, you need to install Chrome Canary for Android on your phone, which is available on the Google Play Store. Then, head over to chrome://flags, and in the search box, type "Tab strip incognito switcher migration to toolbar." Set the flag to "Enabled" and select "Relaunch Chrome" to apply the changes.

While this may not be a groundbreaking feature, it does make switching between tabs easier and more efficient as it reduces the number of steps you need to take to switch between regular and incognito tabs.

Google is also working on a new feature for Circle To Search called Audio Search. Using this feature, users will be able to not only identify songs playing on their phone but also identify songs that are playing ambiently or even songs they are humming. The feature is similar to Google"s Hum to Search feature.

Moreover, Google is also working on a Spotlight feature for videos in the Photos app that will automatically trim key moments from a video and add effects to it.
