Google is releasing a set of safety changes for Chrome that are meant to make your time online safer. The company said that the browser’s Safety Check tool has been improved. It will now run continuously in the background, protecting you in real time. This tool will take your rights from sites you don’t visit anymore and mark sites that are trying to trick you. It will also let you know about possible security problems and dangerous Chrome addons.
Chrome will now give you more power over site rights and make Safety Check better. On both desktop computers and Android phones, users can give websites permission to use their microphone or camera for one time only. The next time they visit, the sites will have to ask for permission again. This lowers the chance of giving long-term rights by accident.
Google is also making it easier to handle alerts that are rude and to stop getting them from sites. This feature was first only available on Pixel phones, but it is now coming to more Android phones, letting people withdraw from sites with just one click.
In an ongoing attempt to make Chrome users safer, Google has released these changes. They make it harder for malicious sites to use old rights and possibly harmful extensions. With Chrome’s better preventative defense, you can browse the web without worrying about your safety.
