Chrome OS adds option to browse without a Google account

Chrome OS will also be a good option for kiosk setups, say at libraries and coffee shops. Many users might just want to take a seat and start browsing — again, without wanting to enter account info. There are security concerns here, too, and some people may be averse to using their personal accounts on shared computers.

The Chrome developers recognize this need, and they’ve landed a change which makes log-in free browsing possible. According to the notes on revision 48635, users will be able to jump right in. Click into this “guest mode” and Chrome OS will mount a temporary file store and spawn a new Incognito browsing session. No Google account necessary, no history retained, nada.
