8 Google Chrome flags that fix the browser’s most annoying issues
Fix what Chrome gets wrong.
Google Chrome has features buried in an experimental menu called "flags" that can fix some of the browser's most annoying issues. These features are not officially shipped yet but are available for users to try. Some of these features can address problems that users commonly experience.
Chrome has also introduced measures to prevent deceptive and unwanted website notifications on Android. According to People Daily Kenya, the browser has implemented a multi-layered security system, which includes a "Swiss cheese" model of defense-in-depth. This system has resulted in Android users receiving more than 7 billion fewer notifications per day in the first quarter.
The measures, which are part of a multi-year effort, automatically remove notification permissions from websites that users have not engaged with recently. Chrome also revokes permissions from websites that have repeatedly triggered suspicious notification warnings. Users can review and restore permissions through Chrome's Safety Hub.
