Chrome to target abusive notification requests beginning in July by Gregg Keizer.

Chrome 86 will block sites abusive notification content by default
October 21, 2020
https://www.slashgear.com/chrome-86...ive-notification-content-by-default-21643754/

As if ads weren’t bad enough, some less conscientious site owners have learned to misuse and abuse one of the modern Web’s features that, on their own, could actually be benign. But just like notifications on your phone, webpage notifications have not only become a nuisance, some have even become dangerous.
In its efforts to make the Web a better place and make ads look less devious, Google is pushing a new feature in version 86 of Chrome that will block sites that use notifications to display abusive and misleading content.

Chrome 86 focuses on actual abusive notification content, Google explains, that trick users into accepting notifications that will then send malware or pretend to be system messages that ask for their credentials. Chrome will block interaction with these sites and require users to explicitly allow them to send notifications, along with a clear warning that the site might be trying to trick them.

Google Chrome will use its own Root Store in the future
November 2, 2020
https://www.ghacks.net/2020/11/02/google-chrome-will-use-its-own-root-store-in-the-future/

Google plans to transition from using the operating system's Root Store to the Chrome Root Store, that is maintained by Google and included in the Chrome browser.

Google Chrome uses the operating system's Root Store currently to access Certification Authorities (CA). All operating systems maintain a list of root certificates that the operating system and applications that run on it use for various purposes.
Google wants to transition away from using the operating system's Root Store for verification purposes; one of the main reasons for doing so is to ensure that the same root certificates are available on all platforms the browser is compatible with.

This will ensure users have a consistent experience across platforms, that developers have a consistent understanding of Chrome's behavior, and that Chrome will be better able to protect the security and privacy of users' connections to websites.
Click to expand...

Google has selected a number of Certification Authorities for inclusion in the Transitional Root Store. Some of these were picked based on their reliability and performance in the past to promote "interoperability on different devices and platforms" and to minimize compatibility issues.

Certification Authorities that have not been selected by Google may request inclusion by following a procedure outlined on this page on the Google website.

Upcoming Google Chrome update will eradicate reverse tabnabbing attacks
In mitigating the risk of the phishing attack variant, Google is following in the footsteps of Safari and Firefox
November 10, 2020
https://portswigger.net/daily-swig/...ate-will-eradicate-reverse-tabnabbing-attacks

An upcoming update to the Google Chrome browser will tackle the risks associated with reverse tabnabbing attacks.

In a tweet dated November 9, Google developer Mike West wrote that Chrome version 88 and beyond would “match Safari and Firefox's behavior of treating target=_blank links as noopener by default”.
Chrome 88 is due to be released as a stable build on January 19, 2021.
Click to expand...

On Chromium’s Gerrit collaboration page, developers note that the browser tweak will change HTML standards handling. Specifically, altering how the anchor target=_blank is managed will mitigate the risk of reverse tabnabbing attacks.

“Anchors that target _blank should behave as if rel=noopener is set,” the commit, created by Microsoft web program manager Eric Lawrence, reads.
Roll out
Speaking to The Daily Swig, Lawrence said end-users should, hopefully, not notice any differences in their browser sessions when the change rolls out.
