Chrome browser bringing an IP address privacy tool to Incognito


Contribute to GoogleChrome/ip-protection development by creating an account on GitHub.

IP Protection will use client authentication to limit the ability of bad actors to leverage the proxies to amplify attacks on services on the Masked Domain List. It's important to note that, unlike a majority of services that use authentication, IP Protection does it in a way that prevents any collection of data about that user's activity tied to their account as a result of their use of the feature. As an additional measure to ensure businesses can monitor the amount of fraud on their systems, respond to emerging fraudulent behavior, and provide feedback on future design iterations, we will add a delayed mechanism to access a random sample of IP addresses called Probabilistic Reveal Tokens (PRT).
