To improve the overall safety of your browser, Google December update Google Chrome has announced that password scanning will now run automatically in the background by default to detect compromised passwords while using the browser. If Google Chrome finds any issues, it will display an alert or warning in its three-dot menu at the top right of the browser’s menu bar.
Google Chrome adds that password scanning works in the background for added security. Google Chrome also warns desktop users to block websites on Google’s list of potentially unsafe sites, whether or not the Safe Browsing feature is enabled. Sabine Borsay, Chrome Group Product Manager said:The Chrome safety check on your desktop now runs automatically in the background. These alerts appear in Chrome’s More menu so you can take action.”
In addition to all this, Google Chrome also expands the functionality of safety checks that automatically revoke permissions. This is useful for removing microphone or location permissions from websites that have not been used for a long time. Safety Check also works for websites that push an excessive number of notifications, allowing users to quickly disable them.
Safety checks that run in the background allow users to take action on security issues faster and more quickly than before, such as changing passwords or uninstalling extensions that compromise privacy and security. You’ll get an opportunity. Additionally, Google Chrome also adds support for saved tab groups and memory saver mode, which allows you to run Google Chrome using less computer memory.
