Google will roll out several updates to the desktop version of Chrome this week to make users' browsing experience more secure and to more effectively control the browser's memory usage. The main feature of this update is proactive security checks. Starting with version 120, which launched a few weeks ago, Chrome desktop's security check now runs in the background and proactively alerts users if it detects that a password has been compromised or an installed extension is malware. It will, of course, remind users to update Chrome promptly.
Perhaps more importantly, Chrome's Security Checkup will now automatically revoke permissions that were given to a site long ago but haven't been used in a long time. This is similar to how Google handles permissions on Android now, helping to ensure that sites that are no longer in use don't continue to gain location or microphone access.
Same thing now: When a website you don't use frequently sends you tons of notifications, Security Checkup will ask you if you want to disable them.
Google also highlighted two other updates for Chrome on the desktop. The first update is Chrome's memory protection mode, which now provides more information when you hover over tabs, and a new setting that makes it easier to tell Chrome that certain websites shouldn't go to sleep.
Second is the ability to save tab groups (a browser feature that some users love, but most turn a blind eye to). This feature will be rolled out in the coming weeks. The use case here is that you can save these tab groups and then sync them to other desktop devices to continue what you were doing before.
