Η Google κυκλοφόρησε σήμερα το Chrome 70, την τελευταία μεγάλη έκδοση του προγράμματος περιήγησης. Η σημερινή έκδοση φέρνει μια νέα choice in the Chrome settings panel that allows control over how the browser behaves when connected to a Google account.
Google added the new setting when it was revealed last month that during connection του προγράμματος με κάποια υπηρεσία της εταιρείας συγχρονιζόταν κρυφά το ιστορικό περιήγησης. Η Google αρνήθηκε ότι συγχρονίζει τα data των χρηστών χωρίς την συγκατάθεσή τους, αλλά δέχθηκε έντονη κριτική από τα media και από τους χρήστες.
The new setting added to Chrome 70 appears as "Allow connection to Chrome" and is enabled by default. If left unchecked, Chrome 70 will behave just like Chrome 69 whenever you want to sign in to Gmail or YouTube, and it will sync your account.

You can now turn off the setting and you can sign in to Google pages without automatically synchronizing your account.
In addition, Google also created a new user interface for displaying the "sync status" in Chrome. THE change this comes after criticism last month when users reported it was difficult to see when Google was or wasn't syncing their data.
But Chrome 70 also brings other news characteristics. For example, the new Chrome supports the final version of the TLS 1.3 standard. Although Chrome has supported beta versions of TLS 1.3 for years, the new browser supports the final version of the standard, approved by the IETF on March.
Chrome 70 also comes with two updates to the Web Authentication API, which will allow developers to support authentication via macOS's TouchID and Android's fingerprint sensor.
Web Bluetooth, an API that allows websites to communicate via GATT with user-selected Bluetooth devices, is now available for Chrome on Windows 10.
