Google today released Chrome 70, the last major version of the proletterof tours. Today's release brings a new option in the Chrome settings panel that allows control over how the browser behaves when signed in to a Google account.
Google added the new setting after it was revealed last month that connecting the program to a company service was secretly syncing your browsing history. Google has denied that it syncs users' data without their consent, but it has come under fire review from the media and from the users.
The new setting added in Chrome 70 appears as “Allow connection to Chrome” and is enabled by default. If you leave this option enabled, Chrome 70 will behave exactly like Chrome 69 and every time 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 has created a new user interface for displaying "sync mode" in Chrome. The change came after criticism was leveled last month when users said it was difficult to see when Google was syncing or not 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.
