Google Chrome. The most popular browser for surfing the Internet had for a good period of time implemented a very important function that was useful for many users. I'm talking about the support for accessing FTPs using Google Chrome, a vital function for many, useless for others, but one that is going to be completely removed from the application by Google, both on mobile phones and on PCs .
Google Chrome. The process of removing support for FTPs started more than a year ago, with Google discovering that it is no longer as popular as it was many years ago. Now the FTP access rate in Google Chrome is so low that the American company has decided to completely remove support for this type of connections, so only special programs will have to be used to access them.
Google Chrome. Extremely Useful Function REMOVED by Google
Google Chrome. Removing FTP support from Google's browser is something that gives ideas to other browser manufacturers, Mozilla also having plans to do exactly the same thing. In the case of mozilla, the plans are not as clear, so Google Chrome remains for the time being the first very large browser that removes support for FTPs and leaves users with the only alternative of using various applications that offer them the same functions.
"The current FTP implementation in Google Chrome does not support encrypted (FTPS) and proxy connections. Browser FTP usage is low enough that it is no longer viable to invest in improving your existing FTP client. We would rather remove and remove this remaining functionality than maintain an insecure FTP implementation."
Google Chrome. Considering the many alternatives, but also the very small number of people who still use FTP, it is unlikely that anyone will complain about the disappearance of this function. Those who still use them must see in the decision of Google Chrome only a first step towards the total disappearance of support from all modern browsers, something that is still normal and was going to happen at some point.
