Google Chrome has received a major upgrade

The new version of Chrome will use 13% more RAM than now, Depo.ua with reference to Forbes reports.

Google has already introduced the main update to the Chrome security system called site isolation. This update protects users against malicious websites that steal sensitive data, such as passwords and encryption keys. Due to the isolation of the site, the content of the domain of the site is placed in an isolated process that does not allow the exchange of memory with other domains. Harmful websites can not steal things they can not access.

The site isolation is currently under Chrome for Windows, Chrome OS, Mac and Linux. According to Google, 99% of Chrome users are protected by these operating systems. The mobile version of Chrome will be updated later.

Android will receive a fix after Google can optimize memory usage so smartphones and tablets continue to work properly.

The site isolation increases memory consumption by 10-13%, which can lead to reduced performance. However, site isolation greatly reduces the risk of threats such as Spectrum, which steals confidential data. You can manually disable the new feature.

In addition, it is reported that Google Maps service messages now allow you to rate places without comments and leave no messages. Previously, you had to open the Google Maps page for a place if you want to leave a note.
