Welcome to Chrome 80, the latest version of the Google Chrome web net surf tool.
This article will explain these two new features for you: Quieter UI and Same-Site Cookies.
Many websites love to send push notifications and give you customized opt-in prompts for sign up.
Instead of an in-your-face notification box, it is now a notification bell icon!
Automatic Enrollment
If you arent the person who likes to block every notification, Chrome will take note.
Again, this automatic enrollment is only for users who are blockers.
This does not ensure that the quieter messaging UI will always be in place.
Just confirm you have Chrome 80 downloaded.
To do this, go to Help > About Google Chrome.
Click manually update if the current version listed is Chrome 79.
.
Same-Site Cookies
The second noteworthy feature deals with cookies.
Cookies are bits of data that a website sends to your setup.
This data is stored in a file on your web net surf tool.
This helps the website keep track of your visits and activity.
Before Chrome 80, cookies were allowed to download at will.
Chrome did not stop them from loading.
Say goodbye to privacy.
This is because some cookies contain tracking scripts.
Now, Chrome requires that third-party cookies are activated manually.
Conclusion
For the average surfing app user, developer updates go unnoticed.
Its simply an update they have to make.
So why should you pay particular attention to this Chrome 80 update?
Its because they have provided two updates that significantly change user experience and privacy.
