Google updated it’s Chrome’s Safety Check feature to add more functionalities that improve user safety overall.
These include automatically revoking the permissions of websites that haven’t been visited for a long time and flagging dangerous web extensions. Further, the Chrome Safety Check will run in the background to check for compromised passwords.
Updated Chrome Safety Check
Google’s Chrome is one of the best and safest web browsers today that lets users find what they want while maintaining their data privacy and security. A part of this promise is fulfilled by the Safety Check feature, which Google introduced back in 2020 – to compare login credentials against those exposed in data leaks.
The feature also checks for weak and easy-to-guess passwords and warns users to set a strong one that’s hard to crack open by brute-force attacks. This feature has now been improved upon to run in the background and flag dangerous web extensions(taken down from the Chrome Web Store).
Furthermore, Chrome’s Safety Check can automatically revoke location and microphone permissions of those websites that haven’t been visited for a long time and flag less-engaged sites showing excessive notifications – allowing users to disable them quickly.
Google also promised to allow Chrome desktop users to save tab groups and resume browsing them on other desktop devices and revamped the Memory Saver mode to show more info on how they make the browser to run smoother.
