After delays to Chrome version 81 in March, and the scrapping of version 82 a month later, this week sees the early arrival of Chrome 83 with a longer list of new security features than originally planned.
First, it's not turned on by default, and might not even be visible under Settings > Privacy and security > Advanced.
On Chrome, unlike Firefox, users still have to set up a DNS provider that supports DoH via the OS. You can test it's working using Cloudflare's security check.
The 'clear browser data' has now been moved to the top of Settings > Privacy and security.
Browser makers know most users don't delve deeply into many of these features, so the battle has become making security and privacy easier to access in the hope this means it will be more likely to be used.
