With the current updates, Chrome has been aligned with more web standards than any of the available browsers out there, making it a perfect choice for users. On every update that has been launched, Chrome also benefited from reinforcements in the security and privacy area.
Fenced Frame privacy feature
As of right now all current browsers allow third-party iframes to communicate with the website that has embedded them which can be dangerous. More than once we have seen proof of how web developers have used such occasions in order to invade users’ privacy by tracking their online actions. In order to try and solve this issue, Chrome developers have proposed to add support for a new HTML tag that will allow them to ensure that their users will not be tracked by third-party cookies. By completely disabling third-party cookies, browser developers will restrict an iframe from sending data back to the original website. The new embedded iframe will be called Fenced Frame and it’s expected to isolate all user data and restrict it from being read by other web pages. In other words, this new tag will not permit that a users data is shared between two websites and it will protect them from any form of privacy abuse, tracking included. According to Google, the new tags are not yet in active development although it seems that they have been added to recent test builds of Chrome. As always, we welcome your thoughts, so don;t hesitate to leave us a comment in the dedicated section below.
