Newest Version Of Chrome Full Rollout For

Google promised a full rollout for Chrome 86, the next upgrade. (This functionality has been pledged for what seems like ages.

Two of the bugs were marked High, Googles second-most-serious threat level.

One of those flaws, which Google said was in the iOS version of Chrome, was reported by a member of Microsofts browser vulnerability research team.

Microsoft now relies on the same core technologies those produced by the Google-dominated Chromium project for its Edge browser as Google does for Chrome.

To manually update, select About Google Chrome from the Help menu under the vertical ellipsis at the upper right; the resulting tab shows that the browser has been updated or displays the download process before presenting a Relaunch button.

People new to Chrome can download version 85 for Windows, macOS and Linux directly.

Google updates Chrome approximately every six weeks; the previous upgrade was released July 14.

Tabs, tabs and more tabs Google bundled several new tab features into Chrome 85; one added functionality to the tab grouping that debuted earlier this year.

With tab grouping, users can organize tabs in where else the tab bar by lumping together several tabs, each lump designated by color and name.

New tabs can be added to the group by dragging and dropping or from a right-click menu; existing tabs can be dumped from a group as well.

A click on the groups label collapses all associated tabs into the label, removing them from the bar.

This was the most popular feature request we heard from those of you using tab groups, wrote Alex Ainslie, Chromes director of UX (user experience), in an Aug.

Ainslie said that Google was rolling out tab group collapseexpansion, meaning that it wont be available to everyone at once.

To turn on the new feature manually, enter chrome:flags in the address bar and press Return or Enter.

Search for the Tab Groups Collapse item and select Enabled from the menu list at the right.

Google also introduced tab previews in Chrome 85, the Beta build.

When the user pauses the mouse pointer atop a tab, a thumbnail of the page appears in a small pop-up, portraying what the tab leads to.

Chrome 85 Stable users can manually engage previews by using chrome:flags and setting both Tab Hover Cards and Tab Hover Card Images to Enabled.

PGO-a-go-go Google claimed that pages will load up to 10 faster in Chrome 85 after Profile Guided Optimization (PGO) was switched on.

This compiler optimization technology a Microsoft invention was first introduced for Windows in Chrome 53 in October 2016, when Google asserted it would make Chrome up to 15 faster.

That initial effort used the Microsoft Visual C build environment.

In Googles latest PGO effort, the companys engineers expanded PGO from just Windows to include macOS by turning to the Clang build environment.

Google will roll out turn on, in plainer terms PGO over time in Chrome 85.

Chrome 85 also suspended page painting in browser windows covered by other windows, a way to save on CPU processing and thus save on power consumption.

Google promised a full rollout for Chrome 86, the next upgrade.

This functionality has been pledged for what seems like ages.
