Nice, but not working. At least in my case do not work.

Outstanding! I love security fixes. Thanks for the heads up, guys.

 

When I installed 70, I also manually updated Chrome components.
Only four needed to be updated... Software Reporter Tool, CRLSet, Adobe Flash Player and Signed Tree Heads.

 

https://www.computerworld.com/article/3211427/web-browsers/whats-in-the-latest-chrome-update.html It says i should be able to disable auto logon in chrome advanced settings, but i can't do it.

 

Regarding ThirdPartyModuleBlocking:

Most importantly, this gives much more protection to the Chrome browser process. It also extends to the renderer processes as well, but those are already well protected. This is significant for the browser process because it still must run at Medium IL and work as a broker process for all of the other chrome.exe processes.


chrome://conflicts


DLL Injection blockage:




Chrome developers have not quite flipped the switch yet to enable the ThirdPartyModuleBlocking feature yet, while all of the code is available if you want to force this. Chrome devs will likely enable this slowly via Field Trials / Origin Trials on a sliding percentage to determine stability and gain telemetry and such.

FWIW, there is a group policy option now: https://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3#ThirdPartyBlockingEnabled

However, that is still not force-enabling the feature. As I found out, command line flags take priority over group policy options in Chrome. So you can force enable this new feature with the following command line to place in your Chrome shortcut if you like:

Code:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --enable-features=IncompatibleApplicationsWarning,ThirdPartyModulesBlocking

So far, I have tried at least 7 different DLL injection techniques specifically on the browser process and it seems to be blocking the module injection with this new ThirdPartyModuleBlocking feature. I still have some more testing to do though.

Please keep in mind that this may cause problems for some security software which injects their modules into chrome.exe processes. Some may have been whitelisted already while some may not yet.

I don't know how but it looks like chrome updated to .77 today without me knowing about it.

 

It happens like that to me quite often.

 

try Block > Google Installer (googleupdate.exe)

 

Guys,

I'm on dev channel but,
there are 2 scheduled tasks in Task Scheduer. Just disable those.

 

Google Chrome Portable 70.0.3538.77 Stable (web browser) Released (October 25, 2018) (Portableapps.com)

 

I actually don't mind Chrome updating itself. A couple of my machines aren't on every day and I don't mind them getting updated without me manually doing anything.

 

Not to mention that you can adjust the tasks to your liking and run them manually.

 

Nothing in the way of Release Notes available for .77, except for the requisite reference to the log, which I have never found to be informative.

 

To answer my own question, seems like there is no way to disable it in "Crappy Chrome" itself. This extension will probably disable it:

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/...-pages/llcihajgaigeicmdohjkiehbacoiggbh?hl=en

 

To have a completely blank New Tab Page:
"Blank New Tab Page" - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/blank-new-tab-page/jaadjnlkjnhohljficgoddcjmndjfdmi

 

@Rasheed187,

try this Chrome flag:

Code:

chrome://flags/#ntp-custom-links

New Tab Page Custom Links.

In my brief usage so far with it enabled, it seems to prevent adding history links in the New tab page.

Good one, mood. Installed and running. TY

 

When I updated to Version 70.0.3538.77 (Official Build) (64-bit), it's asking me to install ad-block for Chrome - No-Ads. Anyone else getting this?
