Google Chrome was updated during the last night on almost all the platforms on which the company Google offers its browser, so that both phone and computer users have access to important news. At the head of them is the one that will mark websites without HTTPS as unsafe for access by Google Chrome users, the modification being a very important one for the future of the Internet as we know it.
Google Chrome brings to Android in version 68 a feature called Site Isolation, which is intended to block the Specter vulnerability, requiring manual activation through the flag chrome: // flags / # enable-site-per-process. More than that, Certificate Transparency Policy will be imposed to bring transparency in the use of HTTPS certificates, and a change for accessing links will require an additional gesture to access, the measure being offered to prevent fraudulent iframe links.
