For many, this is extremely important software among all those installed on their computers. In fact, it is one of the first to start working as soon as the PC is started. This is something that is especially evident among those who use the Internet for multiple tasks, not just to visit news websites. More and more users are using their connection to work, hence the importance of these programs in particular.
Well, it’s important to know that right now Chrome reaches its version 116 with some interesting news which we will detail below. It should be remembered that last month Google launched Chrome 115 with some new features related to tracking and cookies. Well, just a few hours ago the company has begun to make available to its customers the new Chrome 116 with which we can get hold of right now.
Among the novelties that we are going to find here, it is worth highlighting a new updated permission system and some APIs for web applications. In fact, we can say that the most important change in this update is the one-time permissions. This is a feature that the company has been testing since last April and is now making it available to everyone on its .
How is the permissions function of Chrome 116
To give you a more approximate idea of what we are talking about, when we visit a website that asks us for permission for a certain function, such as the location or the microphone, until now we had the possibility of allowing or not allowing access to these components. The novelty now is that we can temporarily allow it with a new button that says Allow this time. Before, to return to the previous state of the permission for that website, we had to do it manually by changing the Privacy settings. However, we can now grant certain permissions to certain components for those websites, just once.
After closing the window of that page, that element will automatically return to its original state without us having to change anything else. From Google’s point of view, the change will help clear up the confusion around browser permissions. Thus, Google Chrome 116 allows grant them once for location, camera, microphone and other characteristics that directly affect our privacy when we move around the Internet.
Once we get used to this new feature that Google implements in its browser, we will have the opportunity to manage the different permissions to elements and functions that the websites we visit can use much more effectively. Instead of unifying these permissions forever, we can customize them so that they are used only this time and return to their original state on subsequent visits. With everything and with which, as usual, what the search giant is looking for is to make things easier for us in its program and improve our privacy and security when using it.
Changing third, in this new version of the program we find some new APIs activated by default. For example, they allow web applications create Picture-in-Picture windows that contain content other than videos.
How to update the program
As we told you before, this new version has been released just a few hours ago and little by little it will reach all our teams. Initially it should update automatically on both PC and mobile devices. All we have to do is go to the Help / Information menu option in Google Chrome.
In this way, the program will be updated automatically and we will already be able to have the aforementioned novelties that improve our experience and security in Google Chrome.
