Google Chrome has been at the center of a significant privacy controversy in recent weeks. Google wants to replace third-party cookies that advertisers employ to track users online and serve personalized ads with a new tracking technology that’s supposedly more private. Called FLoC, the feature is already in testing on a limited number of Chrome users who won’t even know they’ve been included in the pilot, as they’re not explicitly informed and asked whether they want to join. The FLoC initiative has seen plenty of criticism from the EFF, with some Google competitors, including DuckDuckGo and Brave, already taking action against the new tracking features.
But Chrome remains the world’s most popular browser, a tool that many people rely on to surf the web for personal and professional reasons. Google continues to update it regularly, releasing novel features and security updates that users need to be aware of. The latest major Chrome update is already out, bringing various improvements, including a security feature that should improve your safety.
