Chrome 74 with Dark Mode for Windows available to everyone

Η κυκλοφόρησε σήμερα το Chrome 74 για όλους τους χρήστες (Windows, Mac, Linux, Chrome OS και Android). Ενώ κάθε έρχεται με νέες δυνατότητες και διορθώσεις σφαλμάτων, η κύρια νέα προσθήκη στη σημερινή ενημέρωση είναι, η υποστήριξη του Dark Mode για τα Windows.

Mac users already know they enjoyed Chrome's Dark Mode from last month, and the release of Chrome 73.

For users who want to turn on the new Dark Mode, the bad news is that there is no option in the Chrome settings section to do this.

Just as for Mac users, if Windows users want to turn on the new Chrome feature, they will have to change the operating system theme and Google Chrome will automatically change to Dark Mode along with the operating system.

This means that users can not use Chrome Dark Mode regardless of the operating system theme, which can be quite annoying as most users prefer to control the appearance of each application.

Security Improvements

Τα υπόλοιπα νέα χαρακτηριστικά που προστέθηκαν στο Chrome 74 αφορούν σχεδόν όλα το web-dev. Από αυτήν την έκδοση, η Google σταματάει τις λήψεις from iframes, a common method used to distribute malware through advertisements (malvertising).

Another security mechanism added by Google to the new version of Chrome is blocking the ability of a site to open a new tab when the current page is closed.
This it had been circumvented in recent years by ad operators and tech support scams. So Google saw fit to take drastic measures.

From Chrome 74 for Android comes a new saving mechanism , which Google calls “Lite mode”.

There are no details on how Lite mode works, but Google promised to publish a whitepaper with more information in the near future.
