Online safety and security have become one of the most significant concerns for each of us these days. This is important because hackers are always exploring new ways to hijack your devices and steal your data. Even though the Google Chrome is not the entirely safest browser, Google does deserve credit for taking its safety and security very actively. The latest update for Google’s Chrome browser proves this in spades.
The latest Google Chrome version will come with a lot of new privacy and security tools. The most significant tool among these new privacy and security features is the new safety check feature. The new safety check tool allows the users to get an overall look at their security and safety status in Google Chrome.
When the new M83 build of Google Chrome will be rolled out for public use, it will allow users to perform a security check right in the browser’s settings. When users will perform a safety check, the browser will display them a quick readout of how things stand. Although the new feature will provide you a macro look at your overall security, the browser will have a lot of other ways to ensure your browsing experience is safe without having to switch to another system.
With the new update, users will be able to easily find existing features like permission management and cookies. Google Chrome will automatically block third-party cookies by default while browsing. Chrome will do this by using incognito mode. Users will also be able to fine-tune this if they wish to.
You will see extensions organized under a new puzzle icon. This will allow the users to quickly find the extensions they have installed on their Google Chrome browser. However, users will also be able to decide to view certain extensions on the toolbar.
Google Chrome is also introducing a new Enhanced Safe Browsing feature which will take its security to the next level. The new feature will do so by proactively checking whether websites, media, downloads, and other items are secure or not.
The browser will use DNS-over-HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) for encrypting the procedure during a DNS (Domain Name Service) lookup. However, you should keep in mind that all the tools discussed above will be introduced in the desktop version of Google Chrome only. The company will not roll out these features for smartphone users. Users will have to wait until these features arrive at the mobile version of Google Chrome.
Google Chrome’s M83 update will be rolled out sometime soon, and it may take a few days or some weeks for the new update to come your way. Whenever the new update arrives, you should make sure that you upgrade to the latest version to enjoy the new safety features of Google Chrome.
