Google recently announced new improvements to Google Chrome's privacy and protection which will make handling of cookies and permissions more feasible. The updates also include a safe search feature, a new customizable DNS and a feature that will inform you if any of your saved passwords have been updated.
Read on to find out how you can allow new updates in your Chrome browser.
Cookies
Secure DNS
From the Settings go to 'Privacy and Security,' where you can find the option to turn on or off protected DNS. You can customize your DNS Provider from the same section too.
Saved Passwords
A new security review tool has been introduced by Google to recognise if any passwords you saved on Chrome are compromised and allow you to update them. Go from the settings to the 'Security Check Tool' and press 'Scan Now,' to search for compromised passwords. Google will highlight and give you the opportunity to review and update any compromised passwords.
Safe Browsing Tool
Google says its new Secure Browsing Tool will provide you with enhanced security from ransomware, phishing, and other web threats. Using Enhanced Safe Browsing will send URLs of some of the pages you visit to Google when your protection is at risk. However, it's important to remember that this will give Google some of your info, too.
In Settings, go to 'Privacy and Security' to activate Safe Browsing, where you can turn on and off the Safe Browsing feature.
