Chrome Introduces One-Time Permissions and Enhanced Safety Check for Safer Browsing

September 18, 2024 at 05:19AM

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:

– Google has announced new features for its Chrome browser that provide users with more control over their data and protection against online threats.
– The upgraded Safety Check runs automatically, revokes permissions for unused websites, alerts users about security issues, and can revoke notification permissions from suspicious sites.
– Safety Check on Desktop also checks for potentially risky Chrome extensions and offers quick controls to remove them.
– Users can now unsubscribe from unwanted website notifications directly from the notifications drawer on Pixel and Android devices and grant one-time permissions for Chrome on Android and Desktop.
– The new feature allows users to grant specific permissions to a site for one time only, after which Chrome will revoke the permissions once the user leaves the site.
– Users can follow Google on Twitter and LinkedIn for more exclusive content updates.
