Google said in a blog post on Thursday that Chrome's security check feature will now "run automatically in the background" on the desktop. This constant checking may mean you discover passwords that should be changed earlier than before.
Safety Check also monitors for bad extensions or website permissions that you need to review, and you can take action on Safety Check alerts through Chrome's three-dot menu. In addition, Google said that if you haven't visited a website for a while, the security check can revoke the site's permissions.
Google also announced an upcoming Chrome tab groups feature that also applies to desktop browsers: Chrome will let you save tab groups so you can use them across devices. Google says the feature will be rolling out "in the coming weeks."
Google also previewed that it will bring features powered by its new artificial intelligence model, Gemini, to the Chrome browser "early next year." This isn't a surprise -- CEO Sundar Pichai has already said that Gemini is coming to Chrome -- but we're still curious to see what this means in practice.
