Google Chrome - News, Updates & Discussions

Google is still trying to make Chrome less of a battery hog on your phone, and it might have a clever solution for that: neuter the tabs you aren’t using.

The company has introduced a Chrome beta channel update that throttles tabs that have been sitting in the background “for a long time.” The move not only provides more computing power and memory to the tabs you’re using but promises to improve your phone’s overall battery life and RAM usage.

I thought it was already there where it was randomly killing tabs on an 8GB RAM phone

These days, people are spending a lot of time in their browsers to get things done, whether for work, school or something else. And while some write out a formal to-do list to keep track of tasks, for others, their to-do list is their tabs in Chrome. However you get things done, we want Chrome to help you be more productive. Today we’re sharing a number of improvements, including tabs that load faster and new features that let you organize and find them easily.

Google only released its own link-to-text Chrome extension a few months back, but it's now building the function directly into Chrome. Right now, Chrome Canary web users can enable a flag that allows users to right-click on hyperlinks to copy the link hidden within.

Passwords are often the first line of defense for our digital lives. Today, we’re improving password security on both Android and iOS devices by telling you if the passwords you’ve asked Chrome to remember have been compromised, and if so, how to fix them.

To check whether you have any compromised passwords, Chrome sends a copy of your usernames and passwords to Google using a special form of encryption. This lets Google check them against lists of credentials known to be compromised, but Google cannot derive your username or password from this encrypted copy.

We notify you when you have compromised passwords on websites, but it can be time-consuming to go find the relevant form to change your password. To help, we’re adding support for ".well-known/change-password" URLs that let Chrome take users directly to the right “change password” form after they’ve been alerted that their password has been compromised.

Along with these improvements, Chrome is also bringing Safety Check to mobile. In our next release, we will launch Safety Check on iOS and Android, which includes checking for compromised passwords, telling you if Safe Browsing is enabled, and whether the version of Chrome you are running is updated with the latest security protections. You will also be able to use Chrome on iOS to autofill saved login details into other apps or browsers.

In Chrome 86 we’ll also be launching a number of additional features to improve user security, including:

• Enhanced Safe Browsing for Android
• Improvements to password filling on iOS
• Mixed form warnings and download blocking
• Mixed form warnings and download blocking

QUIC is a new networking transport protocol that combines the features of TCP, TLS, and more. HTTP/3 is the latest version of HTTP, the protocol that carries the vast majority of Web traffic. HTTP/3 only runs over QUIC.

Chrome is deploying HTTP/3 and IETF QUIC
