Google is planning to develop a feature called IP Protection for its Chrome browser, which aims to mask IP addresses through network proxies to enhance user privacy and limit cross-site tracking. The project, part of Google's Privacy Sandbox initiative, is similar to Apple's iCloud Private Relay service for Safari. The initial testing will involve a Google-owned proxy, followed by a two-hop proxy setup involving a third-party proxy server. The implementation timeline and details are yet to be finalized, and the feature is expected to be initially launched as an opt-in setting before becoming the default.

Google Chrome is developing a feature that will allow users to hide their IP addresses from websites, even without a VPN. The feature aims to cut down on cross-site tracking by creating a proxy IP address, preventing select sites from associating users' IP addresses with their activity. Initially, the beta program will only proxy off domains owned by Google, and it will be accessible to U.S.-based users logged into their Google accounts on Chrome. The feature is being developed to work alongside Google's Privacy Sandbox and its plan to disable cookies in 2024, providing users with increased privacy options while still allowing targeted advertising within Google's ecosystem.

Google is planning to introduce an "IP Protection" feature for its Chrome browser, which will hide users' IP addresses by routing third-party traffic through proxy servers. This feature aims to address privacy concerns related to covert tracking facilitated by IP addresses while still maintaining essential web functionalities. Initially, the feature will be opt-in and limited to specific domains, with Google testing the system's infrastructure and fine-tuning the domain list. The introduction will be phased, starting with Google's own domains, and later expanding to include other domains. Google plans to adopt a 2-hop proxy system for increased privacy and intends to assign IP addresses that represent a "coarse" location rather than specific user locations. However, there are potential security concerns related to DDoS attacks and compromised proxy servers, which Google aims to mitigate through authentication and rate-limiting measures.
