Chrome has introduced new safety features to protect users from online threats and give them more control over their data. The updated Safety Check feature now runs automatically in the background, taking proactive steps like revoking permissions from unused sites and flagging deceptive notifications. Users can easily opt out of unwanted website notifications with a one-tap “Unsubscribe” button. Additionally, one-time permissions for accessing the camera or microphone on Android and Desktop provide better privacy management, as permissions are revoked after a single use.
With the enhanced Safety Check, Chrome aims to keep users safe by notifying them of security issues and taking necessary actions. It also protects against abusive notifications by revoking permission from sites that deceive users into granting access. On Desktop, Safety Check will alert users about potentially risky Chrome extensions and provide quick controls to remove them. Users can also stay updated on security patches and check for password risks with Safety Check.
The new feature allows users to unsubscribe from site notifications with a single tap, reducing notification volume by 30% on supported devices. This feature will be available on more Android devices soon. Moreover, granting one-time permissions to websites for camera or microphone access gives users more control over their data sharing. Chrome will automatically revoke these permissions once the user leaves the site, enhancing online privacy.
These updates ensure a safer browsing experience with increased control over online activities. Users can rely on Chrome for a secure and user-friendly browsing environment. In addition to these features, Chrome continues to support users with other tools and updates to enhance their browsing experience. Stay tuned for more updates and improvements to Chrome to ensure a seamless and safe online experience.
