Google company the release version of the Chrome 80 browser, which received a number of innovations. This assembly received the tab grouping feature, which will allow you to group the necessary tabs with a common name and color. It is enabled by default for some users, everyone else can enable it with the chrome://flags/#tab-groups option.
Another new feature is a stricter cookie policy if a particular site does not use HTTPS requests. This will cut off ads and tracking trackers that are loaded from other domains than the current one. This opportunity starts on February 17 and will gradually expand.
It is important to note that a more restrictive Cookie can play a trick on users. After all, not all sites have switched to the new SameSite Cookie standard recommended by Google. Because of this, some resources may not load or work incorrectly. The corporation has released a special video that explains the principles of the algorithm.
In addition, in the new version, the notification system will become less aggressive and intrusive. This applies to push notifications and other similar things. This novelty will also be activated selectively first, and only then it will be rolled out to everyone. It can be forced to run through the chrome://flags/#quiet-notification-prompts flag.
Of the little things, we note the basic protection against downloading mixed multimedia content, the beginning of the abandonment of FTP, as well as support for vector SVG images as site icons. Finally, we added numerous changes for web developers. The browser is available on the official website.
