Google Chrome ends the chaos with its new feature!
Google Chrome is developing a new feature for Android users called “tab declutter” that will enable automatic tab editing.
Google discovered three zero-day vulnerabilities in May alone. The company, which had previously fixed the errors tracked as CVE-2024-4671 and CVE-2024-4761, has now fixed the CVE-2024-4947 problem. The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) recommends downloading Chrome 125 in this context.
Government institutions in the USA were given until June 10 to implement the Chrome update. However, experts recommend that users act quickly. You can check for the update from the Chrome menu or wait for the update to install automatically.
On the other hand, Chrome is gaining a new feature in tab organization. Users will soon put an end to annoying tab clutter without having to intervene manually. The feature will reduce chaos in the browser by automatically archiving unused tabs.
