Online privacy is more critical than ever, and Google Chrome has quietly rolled out three powerful security updates to protect your data.
From an improved Safety Check that automatically revokes risky permissions to new controls for website notifications and one-time permissions, Chrome is stepping up its security game.
Want to stay safe online without any hassle? These features might be exactly what you need to block threats before they strike. Could you find out how to activate them now?
1. The Upgraded Safety Check: Your Silent Defender
Chrome’s updated Safety Check goes beyond its previous capabilities. Now, it automatically scans your system in the background for malicious downloads, compromised passwords, and unsupported extensions.
But it doesn’t stop there. The new feature will also revoke permissions from websites you no longer visit, alerting you about potential risks, so you’re always in the loop.
Plus, if a site is flagged by Google’s Safe Browsing as deceptive, Chrome will block notifications from that site without bothering you.
This powerful tool acts as your silent online protector, making sure you’re safe without you even noticing the background checks happening.

2. Easily Unsubscribe from Annoying Website Notifications
We’ve all been bombarded with annoying pop-ups and website notifications. Now, Chrome has a fix for that. A new “Unsubscribe” button will appear in your notifications drawer on Pixel devices, with more Android devices soon to follow.
This allows you to quickly turn off notifications for sites you don’t need to hear from anymore. Not only does this declutter your phone, but it also keeps potentially harmful notifications at bay.
3. One-Time Permissions: Control Your Data with a Single Click
Ever felt uneasy granting a site permanent access to your camera or microphone? Chrome’s new feature lets you grant one-time permissions for specific sites, and once you exit the page, the permissions are automatically revoked.
Whether you’re browsing from an Android device or a computer, you no longer have to worry about websites retaining access to your sensitive data after your session ends.

By staying informed and using these powerful tools, you can protect your online presence without much effort. Google Chrome’s latest updates are here to make sure your digital life stays safe and private.
