Google today released Chrome 71, the latest version of the program browsing which is developing, a version mainly focused on enhancing Chrome's security.
There are several security updates in this new version of Chrome, but one of the most important is the one made in the embedded browser filtering system.
As announced on early November, this update will enhance Chrome's ability to detect sites that display overly aggressive or misleading ads and pop-ups. Google reports that they are creating "abusive experiences" for Chrome users. From this version, then, such windows will stop appearing, until the advertisers think of something else.
With Chrome 71, Google will reportedly stop websites using it tricks to trick users into signing up for plans that charge the end user's phone.
Google plans to introduce a warning full page – similar to what is shown for HTTPS errors, before users open such pages.
Google also limits the ability of sites to "talk."
Another change removes the Inline Install API, a Chrome feature that allows users to install Chrome extensions hosted on the official Web Store, but while browsing other websites.
Last but not least, Chrome 71 brings bug fixes for 43 security issues, broken down more detailed here.
With today's version, Chrome's new version number reaches 71.0.3578,80. The full changelog of Chrome 71 is available here.
