Google will lock down Chrome on Windows | ZDNet
If you're running Windows, there's a good chance that you're also running a program, typically accessibility or antivirus software, which will inject code into your Chrome web browser. Guess what can happen then? Yes. That's right, it can crash.
Google has had enough of this and "starting in July 2018, Chrome 68 will begin blocking third-party software from injecting code into Chrome on Windows."
These changes will take place in three steps: First, in April 2018, Chrome 66 will begin showing affected users a warning after a crash. This will alert them to the fact that the crash was caused by a program injecting code into Chrome. The message will then instruct them to update or remove that program.
Then, in July 2018, Chrome 68 will start blocking third-party software from injecting into Chrome processes. If this prevents Chrome from launching, Chrome will restart and allow the injection, but it will also show a warning asking the user to remove the offending software. Finally, in January 2019, Chrome 72 will simply always block code injection.
