It has been a little over three weeks since his last big update Chrome 93, και η Google is back with a new one version. Version 94 is available for all users watching the fixed channel.
If you're wondering why it only took 3 weeks to release a new version, it's because Google switched from program circulation of six weeks to four weeks.
What's new in Google Chrome 94
HTTPS protocol
Chrome 94 continues to impose HTTPS over less secure HTTP. Now, if you try to open a page that uses HTTP you will see a full screen warning of the potential dangers. Google Chrome will also try to automatically switch from HTTP to HTTPS for any site you open over HTTP.
Settings
Another important change is a simplified settings interface. Instead of having all the settings on one big page, Google Chrome 94 will display options from each section. This change will be released gradually, and you can activate it with the following flag:
chrome: // flags # settings-landing-page-redesign
Sharing Hub
Finally, users can enable a new Chrome sharing page, a unified user interface for copying links, creating QR codes, and saving web pages. Be aware that the Sharing Hub is hidden behind an experimental flag.
To enable it, open the internal address chrome: // flags and enable the flag "Desktop Sharing Hub in Omnibox".
Other changes
It is also worth noting that Chrome 94 has a new inactivity detection API that allows developers to receive more information about user behavior, such as interacting with other windows.
Mozilla and Apple have already expressed their concerns about how much the Idle Detection API is hurting it privacy of users and opens up “opportunities for the surveillance of capitalism”.
Google Chrome 94 is already available for desktop and mobile devices. Google has also prepared a new "What's new" page to display new features in major releases.
