Windows 10 Will Keep the Text You Type Private in Google Chrome Incognito

Microsoft has come up with a plan to improve user privacy when running Chromium browsers, like Google Chrome, in private mode, thus resolving one of the biggest issues currently on the OS.
 
On Windows 10, whenever you launch Google Chrome in the Incognito mode, your data is supposed to be protected by not leaving any browsing traces behind.
But on the other hand, the keyboard input is still monitored by the operating system in order to provide additional functionality, like text predictions, as you type. This means your data isn’t necessarily private, so Microsoft is working to resolve it.
 
In the future, Windows 10 will treat private browsing sessions just like SwiftKey does on Android, for example. In other words, if you launch an Incognito window and begin typing, the keyboard detects it shouldn’t track the keyboard input, thus guaranteeing full privacy.

9to5google came across a recent commit published by a Microsoft engineer, who proposes a way to resolve this setback. In just a few words, a future update will connect two different functions called “shouldDoLearning” in Google Chrome and “IS_PRIVATE” in Windows 10 to make it possible to detect whenever a private window is launched and prevent typing from being tracked for predictions.
