What Google Chrome Thumbnails can tell about you

If you are using Google Chrome this might be something you might have to think twice. This is something really simple but can be end up with serious results.

Google Chrome has this user friendly feature that will show the thumbnails of the mostly visited websites by you. It is quite similar to take a print screen. I have noticed that it keep on taking the password protected pages. For example I can see the view of my Gmail, Facebook accounts in the Chrome Thumbnails.

If you working on a shared computer environment this is something you must take into consideration as these thumbnails might gives out any secret information of you out. If it is a regular page that you visit and if it display some of your secrets or secret picture in a password protected page but Google chrome might show it out.

Always use the Remove Thumbnails link below to remove such thumbnails from Google chrome New Tab.
