Disable viewing or require password to access Google Chrome History Often, because of various reasons (mostly to show other people a webpage to view or edit on which requires some sort of setup or login), I need to give people physical access to my fully unlocked laptop. That means they can see my browsing history, and I don't want that to happen due to privacy reasons. I already have a script that allows me to stop the Dock process (thereby eliminating the ability to navigate to other applications except the current one), so other application is not a concern. How can I temporarily disable access to view history or protect it with password without having to restart Google Chrome?
The easiest way to keep your browser history (and everything else) to yourself is to either enable the Guest account or setup a &quot;throwaway&quot; account on your Mac and then use Fast User Switching to change accounts whenever somebody wants to use a browser quickly.
