Nvidia drives break chrome incognito mode

The drivers of our graphics cards usually have many more bugs than we would like to users… a new one has been discovered in the Nvidia drivers and this time it is in charge of breaking privacy in Chrome's incognito mode.

The issue with the Nvidia drivers allows the Chrome browser to retrieve the pages in incognito mode after closing. The problem is that After closing the Chrome browser, the " frame buffer " of the GPU is not erased correctly and pours the cache into free memory, allowing it to leak to other applications and allow other users of the same PC to access the information. previously used in incognito mode.

Both Nvidia and Google know of the problem but are not in the task of solving it and they excuse themselves that the incognito mode is not intended to protect different users of the same PC among themselves.
