◆ One-tap setting of permissions for each site
In the Android version, just tap the lock icon on the left of the address bar to display the permissions granted to the site, and you can easily change it. It will be expanded to other platforms in future updates.


◆ Added privacy and security related actions to Chrome actions
Chrome action is a function that allows you to perform the corresponding action quickly and easily by entering 'Delete history', 'Password management', etc. in the address bar. Starting with Chrome 92, privacy and security related actions such as 'security check' and 'security settings' have been added to this function.


◆ Update of site separation function
'Site Separation', which separates processes for each website, was introduced in Chrome 67. The site isolation feature has been updated in Chrome 92 so that processes are no longer shared with extensions. It also supports the 'Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy ' header as a trigger for site isolation.

◆ Faster and lighter phishing detection
As part of phishing site detection, Chrome gets a color profile every time you open a page and warns you if it matches a known phishing site. To protect your privacy, this process is all done inside the device, consuming CPU time and battery. Previously, it took an average of 1.8 seconds to get phishing site detection results, but Chrome 92 has reduced it to 0.1 seconds, reducing about 1.2% of the total CPU time that Chrome consumes and consuming battery power. In addition to the improvements, we are now able to issue warnings faster, increasing the likelihood that we will be able to issue warnings before the user types.

◆ Updates for developers
-Negative arguments can be taken in 'at ()' of 'Array', 'String', and 'Typed Arrays'.
If you specify a negative number, you are specifying the position counted from the end.

・ Canvas color gamut expanded

Chrome 92 also contains 35 security bug fixes .
