Google’s silent Chrome experiment crashes thousands of browsers and angers IT admins
Blank white screens in Chrome left many IT admins and users confused
November 15, 2019
https://www.theverge.com/2019/11/15...e-white-tab-screen-crash-experiment-it-admins

Google left thousands of machines in businesses with broken Chrome browsers this week, following a silent experimental change.
After complaints, Google was forced to reveal it had launched an “experiment” on stable versions of Chrome that had changed the browser’s behavior. The experiment was made silently, without IT admins or users being warned about Google’s changes.

Google had simply flipped the switch on a flag to enable a new WebContents Occlusion feature that’s designed to suspend Chrome tabs when you move other apps on top of them and reduce resource usage when the browser isn’t in use.
“The experiment / flag has been on in beta for ~5 months,” explained David Bienvenu, a software engineer at Google, in a Chromium bug thread. “It was turned on for stable (e.g., m77, m78) via an experiment that was pushed to released Chrome Tuesday morning.

Google rolled back the change late on Thursday night, following multiple reports from businesses with thousands of users affected.

One IT admin that alerted The Verge to the issue said “we felt that this is a shady thing that Google can update Chrome silently without announcing anything and can impact 100,000+ people on a whim.” Those concerns are mirrored by hundreds of replies on Google’s support forum, the bug tracker thread, and on Twitter and Reddit.
We’ve reached out to Google for comment on the Chrome issues, and we’ll update you accordingly.

Google Chrome is Getting the 'Close other tabs' Option Back

Google Chrome's 'Close Other Tabs' Option Is Back!
November 18, 2019
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/google/google-chromes-close-other-tabs-option-is-back/

Google just released Google Chrome 78.0.3904.108 and with it is the return of the 'Close other tabs' feature that Google mistakenly took out in previous versions.

With the release of Chrome 78, Google removed the 'New tab', 'Close other tabs', 'Reopen closed tab', and 'Bookmark all tabs' context-menu options as they stated these functions could be performed with other methods or were not used enough.
For people, like myself, who used 'Close other tabs' throughout the day, Google recommended that users drag the tab they want to keep over to the first tab and then right-click on it and select 'Close tabs to the right'.

The good news is that 'Close other tabs' is now back in the latest version of Chrome 78 released today.

In Components, it looks like Legacy TLS Deprecation Configuration is new.

Starting with Chrome 79 on January 13, 2020, the browser will show a “Not Secure” indicator to the left of the address box. Tapping Page Info provides the full “Your connection to this site is not fully secure” warning. Google is not yet blocking TLS 1.0 or 1.1 at this stage, just alerting users.

Google Achieves Its Goal of Erasing the WWW Subdomain From Chrome
December 12, 2019
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/ne...oal-of-erasing-the-www-subdomain-from-chrome/

With the release of Chrome 79, Google completes its goal of erasing www from the browser by no longer allowing Chrome users to automatically show the www trivial subdomain in the address bar.
According to a Google engineer, www is considered a trivial subdomain because "this isn't information that most users need to concern themselves with in most cases".

With the release of Chrome 79, the #omnibox-ui-hide-steady-state flags have been completely removed from the browser and the only way to show www in the address bar is to click twice in the address bar to edit the URL or install the Google Chrome extension.

Regardless of which side you are on regarding the 'www' debate, if you are a Chrome user: Bye www!
