2020-02-06 12:14
Version 80 of the Chrome browser is out with some new features designed to save your security and your sanity.
The first is the first-party site that you are visiting, which needs those cookies for things like logging you back in automatically.
Either way, if the third-party site doesn't manage cookies properly, or if another site manages to impersonate a legitimate third-party site, it could introduce security problems.
Google will roll it out to a small population of Chrome 80 users later in February, gradually increasing its coverage over time.
Last month, the Chromium blog announced that Chrome 80 will include a new, quieter notification permission interface.
