Chrome 86 Beings Useful Tools For Users and Developers
While Google is accredited for stuffing Chrome with a lot of features, it’s also blamed for eating the system resources. Yet, Google continues to push new support features for Chrome. In its latest update as version 86 to Chrome, Google has added a dedicated password changing button to let users update their passwords in the browser.
We’ve seen Chrome notifying us about a compromised password whenever it found the save passwords matching with any breaches. This has been so helpful since users realize they were affected, and change them immediately to avoid any risks. And now, it made it simpler by adding a “Change Password” button right next to the compromised password in Settings. Clicking that would take the user to the respective website and asks them to log in and change the password, which will be asked again to save. Besides this, the new version has enabled the Native File System API by default in the Chrome browser. This lets developers access users’ device storage for relevant files for their web apps. This speeds up the performance if done correctly and securely. Also, version 86 brings support to VP9 codec support to macOS Big Sur, which would automatically bump the video’s resolution to a higher one to have a better viewing experience. Further, it’s tarnishing the FTP support in Chrome’s Beta and Canary variants, while leaving the option for users to re-enable it if wanted.
