Google Chrome is still the most popular browser around with over 63% of the market share and one of the reasons it is the most widely used is that it is constantly improving with new features. To help users better understand and review privacy settings, Google recently began testing a new privacy review feature on Chrome desktop, while today we learn that the company plans to bring the feature to Google Chrome for Android as well.
Google Chrome for Android is about to get a new privacy guide
The novelty will consist of a new page in the settings which aims to help the user review various privacy and security settings by describing the various control options and how they affect the user’s browsing experience in an easy-to-understand language.
The feature is currently hidden by a classic flag and to try it out, simply type chrome: // flags / # privacy-review in the Google Chrome address bar, set the relative switch to “Enabled” and finally restart the browser to make the change effective.

Once this is done you will need to go to Settings> Privacy and security to see a new option called Privacy Review. The feature appears to be still in development as it currently only shows two switches. The former is labeled Make searches and browsing better and when enabled provides faster browsing and better suggestions in the address bar.
The synchronization of the history, on the other hand, allows you to synchronize the browsing history on all devices on which the user is logged in. Google also clearly describes what kind of data it will collect if you enable these features. The Google Chrome privacy guide for Android is not yet active and we don’t know when Google plans to roll out the feature to all users.
