Google has released a new version of the Chrome browser to the stable branch. Chrome 84 is a maintenance release that fixes a number of security vulnerabilities, and also includes a few improvements.
Google Chrome is the most popular web browser which exists for all major platforms like Windows, Android and Linux. It comes with a powerful rendering engine which supports all modern web standards.
Version 84 of the browser is notable for resolving 38 security issues. Here are some highlights:
Improvements in Chrome 84
- Google continues to roll out the SameSite cookie restriction. The process was suspended in Chrome 80. Chrome is enforcing secure-by-default handling of third-party cookies as part of our ongoing effort to improve privacy and security across the web.
- TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 are deprecated starting in Chrome 84. Both protocols can still be used in Chrome 84, but will be removed in the future.
- Users will get a warning in the developer console about insecure downloads via the plain HTTP.
- Chrome will suppress abusive web notifications starting in version 84.
