A few days back Google introduced its Google One Lite subscription in India that was for users who wanted more storage but at a lower price. Apart from this new subscription plan, Google has also started rolling out new safety features in Chrome that offer more control to users of their data and keep them safer while browsing the internet.

New Safety Features In Chrome
Stay Protected With Improved Safety Check
Safety Check feature is now revamped and it will run automatically in the background on Chrome, inform users of actions it takes including revoking permissions from sites they don’t visit anymore, remind users if anything needs their attention, and will also protect against abusive notifications by automatically revoking notification permissions from sites Google Safe browsing finds to be deceiving users into granting the permission.
On Desktop, Safety Check will continue to notify you if you have any Chrome extensions installed that may pose a security risk to you, then bring you to the extensions page and show a summary panel with quick controls to remove them. Users will continue to have the latest security patches and check their passwords for potential security risks. It also provides the option to enable Google safe browsing protections.
Unsubscribe From Site Notifications In One Tap
On Pixel devices and coming soon to more Android devices, you will be able to simply tap the Unsubscribe button directly on the notification drawer to stop receiving notifications from that site.
Grant One-Time Website Permissions
With this feature, you can choose to grant select permissions- such as access to your camera or mic- to a site for one time only. Once you leave the site, Chrome will revoke the permissions. The site won’t be able to use those permissions until you explicitly grant them again.
