Google Chrome remains the world’s most popular web browser, with a market share of approximately 70%. Many users even prefer the default browser of this operating system, such as those found on Mac, Windows and iOS. However, this popularity makes Chrome the main target of cyber attacks. Google is aware of the risks and is constantly working to improve Chrome’s security. The company is currently investing heavily in privacy and security improvements to protect your online experience.

Chrome’s “Special network access controls for navigation requests” explained

Not every website is safe. Clicking on a link could make you a target for hackers. Google knows this and is releasing a new feature to help protect devices connecting to your home network via Chrome. This feature will monitor websites that try to access your private network and only allow those it knows are safe.

This feature will be called “Customized network access controls for browsing requests” and will check where the request to connect to your private network is coming from and whether it is secure. On the other hand, it will check your device to make sure it has permission to access your private network. Google currently helps developers accredit their websites as safe resources.

The new feature has not yet been rolled out to any version of Chrome but is expected to be included in Chrome 123 or 124 for desktop and Android devices. Especially in today’s environment, where the concept of “smart home” has become widespread and various objects, especially door locks, have become targets, Google’s move aims to increase your security.
