Let’s take a look at some of the new features:
Flags redesign
The chrome://flags webpage comes with new Material Design. Users can now easily distinguish between Available and Unavailable in-development Chrome experiments. Earlier, this feature was used to enable and disable beta experiments on the Web browser. A new Search bar has also been added. There is also a quick button to reset all experiments in one go.
Smart Text Selection
The new feature is compatible with Android 8.0 Oreo OS. The new feature recommends apps based on the selected text in any document, email or webpage.
Site Isolation
The new feature lets you isolate certain webpages. These pages are rendered separately to make sure that they do not share processes or cross-site iframes. However, this process uses 10-20 percent more memory.
Device Memory JavaScript API
The new API automatically detects the amount of memory in the device and can redirect to lite versions of websites. This will help users on low-RAM devices.
TLS 1.3 Rollout
TLS or Transport Layer Security is an email security protocol that configures secure communications for Gmail.
