Chrome 92 Brings Several Privacy, Security Improvements
2021-07-21 13:16

Google on Tuesday announced the release of Chrome 92 in the stable channel, with 35 security patches and with various other security improvements, such as better site isolation and phishing protection.

Chrome 92 arrives with expanded Chrome Actions, to provide users with improved management of privacy and security options.

The updated browser also brings improved Site Isolation, a feature designed to keep users safe from malicious websites by running each of them in a separate process.

With the new browser iteration, Android users can easily view and update specific permissions granted to a website by tapping on the lock icon on the Chrome address bar's left side.

Chrome 92 is now rolling out to Windows, Mac, and Linux users with 35 security fixes, including 24 for vulnerabilities reported by external researchers.

Google says it has paid the security researchers a total of more than $110,000 in bug bounty rewards for the reported vulnerabilities, but the company has yet to disclose the amount awarded for several reports, meaning that the total could be even higher.
