Google Chrome is set to introduce new performance and safety features, elevating user experience and security. The upcoming updates, primarily for the desktop version of Chrome, include more proactive Safety Check alerts and enhanced Memory Saver mode functionality.
Chrome’s Safety Check feature will now operate automatically in the background on desktops. Users will receive alerts for compromised passwords saved in Chrome, harmful extensions, outdated Chrome versions, or necessary site permission reviews. These notifications will be conveniently accessible through Chrome’s three-dot menu, allowing users to take immediate action.
Enhanced Safety Check will also include features to revoke site permissions, like location or microphone access, for sites not visited in a long time. Additionally, it will flag excessive notifications from infrequently engaged sites, enabling users to disable them easily.
Chrome’s Memory Saver mode, introduced last year, helps the browser run more smoothly. The latest update adds detailed information about the memory usage of tabs and the potential memory saved when they become inactive. Users can also specify sites to remain always active, enhancing control over browser performance.
To activate Memory Saver mode, users can navigate to the Performance section in Chrome settings and toggle the feature on.
Tab groups have been a significant organizational tool in Chrome, particularly for users who open multiple tabs, like during online shopping. The new update will allow users to save tab groups and access them across different desktop devices, making it easier to resume projects.
Looking ahead, Chrome plans to introduce smarter and more helpful features powered by the new AI model, Gemini. These updates are expected to roll out early next year, promising further advancements in Chrome’s functionality and user experience.
For marketers and digital professionals who rely heavily on Chrome for their daily tasks, these updates represent a significant improvement in efficiency and online security.
The enhanced Safety Check and Memory Saver mode, along with the ability to save tab groups, will streamline workflows and provide a safer, more organized browsing experience.
