Google has released version 119 of the Chrome web browser. At the same time, a stable release of the open-source project Chromium, which serves as the basis for Chrome, is available. The Chrome browser differs from Chromium by using Google logos, having a notification system for crashes, modules for playing copy-protected video content (DRM), an automatic update installation system, always enabling Sandbox isolation, delivering keys to Google API, and transmitting RLZ parameters during searches. For those who need more time to update, an Extended Stable branch is separately maintained, accompanied by 8 weeks. The next release, Chrome 120, is scheduled for December 5. <\/p>\n
Key changes in Chrome 119: <\/p>\n
\n
The release cycle has been shortened, reducing the time between the creation of a new branch and the start of beta testing \u2014 the beta version is now generated two days after branch creation, instead of eight. The stabilization of the beta version continues to take four weeks as before. Thus, the preparation cycle for new releases is now one week shorter.\n
A feature to save tab groups has been introduced. Users can now save a group and close the tabs within it to free up resources. Later, when needed, tabs from the saved group can be restored and opened on other devices participating in tab synchronization. This feature is enabled for a subset of users, and for forceful activation, the setting 'chrome:\/\/flags\/#tab-groups-save' is provided.\n
The interface has seen changes in the wording related to operations and settings concerning data deletion and loss. The term 'Clear' is now replaced with 'Delete' in such operations, since the word 'Clear' was not perceived by some users as a sign of irreversible data loss.\n
URL autocompletion now takes into account any previously used keyword for site searches, not just words that match the beginning of the address. For example, autocompleting the address 'https:\/\/www.google.com\/travel\/flights' will work not only when entering the word 'google,' but also when entering 'flights.'
<\/center> <\/li>\n
Automatic typo correction has been implemented when entering a website address, and relevant suggestions are provided based on sites previously opened by the current user. For example, entering 'youutube' will suggest opening YouTube.com.
<\/center> <\/li>\n
The ability to search within bookmark sections through the address bar has been introduced. For example, you can add the name of a bookmark section when entering, and Chrome will suggest links from that section that match the entered keyword. For instance, entering 'trips 2023 New' will suggest links from the 'trips 2023' bookmark section related to New York.
<\/center> <\/li>\n
Recommendations for popular sites are now displayed even if the user has never visited them before or made a mistake when entering the URL. For example, when following a recommendation to open Google Earth, if the user starts typing \u2018googleear\u2019 without knowing the exact address, the browser will suggest visiting earth.google.com.
<\/center> <\/li>\n
In Chrome for desktop systems, the readability of information in the address bar has been improved and the interface responsiveness has been enhanced \u2014 results are now displayed immediately after the user starts typing in the address bar.\n
In accordance with the updated Fetch API specification, the HTTP Authorization header is removed when redirecting to another domain (cross-origin).\n
In the notification settings and location definition, an option has been added to enable the Permission Suggestions Service for suppressing requests for permission confirmation. The following modes are offered:\n
\n
always show permission requests for notifications and location access;\n
automatically ignore spammy permission requests using the Permission Suggestions Service mechanism;\n
always ignore all requests for notifications;\n
always block all requests for permission to display notifications and access location. <\/ul>\n
