Google is introducing new features in Chrome for enhanced data control and protection. Updates include an improved Safety Check, easier opting out of website notifications, and granting one-time permissions. Safety Check will now automatically run in the background and notify users of security issues and potentially unwanted notifications. Users can also revoke notification permissions from suspicious sites and manage Chrome extensions. Additionally, users can unsubscribe from unwanted website notifications and grant one-time permissions on both Pixel and Android devices. This gives users more control over their online privacy and security.
Key Takeaways from the meeting notes:
