Enable "Do Not Track" feature

☑ Chromium will inform the website you are visiting that you do not wish to be tracked, i.e. you do not want your surfing history to be recorded.

The browser will use the DNT ("Do Not Track") field in the HTTP header for this purpose. Observing this setting is voluntary; from a technical point of view, websites can still record the surfing history even when DNT is set to 1.

Block third party cookies

☑ Third-party cookies are not accepted by Chromium. For details, see https://chromeenterprise.google/policies/#BlockThirdPartyCookies. (Default)

With some websites, the functionality might be limited if third-party cookies are blocked. For example, for Microsoft Teams to work, it is required to allow the use of some cookies. For further instructions, see Troubleshooting: Cannot Log in to MS Teams in Chromium Browser.

Enable search suggestions

☑ Suggestions will be shown while an address is being typed in the address bar. The suggestions will be based on previously visited websites which are stored in the history.
