Αν έχετε παρατηρήσει ορισμένες προειδοποιήσεις που προτείνουν την διαγραφή του προγράμματος περιήγησης Google Chrome στην version του για κινητές συσκευές τελευταία, μην βιαστείτε να απεγκαταστήσετε τον browser σας.
Ο λόγος πίσω από τους τίτλους και τις προτάσεις διαγραφής του προγράμματος περιήγησης Google Chrome από το τηλέφωνο ή το tablet σας δεν οφείλονται σε security gaps of Chrome (zero day) for which Google issued some warning.
It all started with a researcher's tweet better safetys that details how Google's mobile browser can use your phone's accelerometer for malicious purposes.
We will not deal with the analysis of what one can get from the accelerometer of your phone, but we will mention that the usual suspect is once again Facebook and its applications.
Of course the researcher doesn't clearly say delete the Chrome browser from the phone you, but rather shows how you can turn off the default accelerometer data sharing option.
Needless to say, this was transferred to the internet completely differently, and so warnings about deleting the Google Chrome browser over the weekend began to pop up for no reason.
What can companies learn about you by analyzing how you hold and move your mobile devices (eg, smartphone / -watch)?

In short, instead of deleting Chrome, go to Settings> Site Settings> Motion Sensors and turn off default accelerometer data sharing if you're worried about all of the above.
