Chrome 95 lets you save groups of tabs, improve payment security, and more.
Chrome 94 introduced the official sharing hub, HTTPS-First mode, a “What’s New” page so you can see new features and details as they become available, a redesign of the settings page, etc. . Now we see Chrome 95 starting to roll out, and with it the ability to save groups of tabs for later, improvements to security payments, other feature changes for developers. Let’s take a look at what you’ll see that’s different after the update!
Improved safety payments
In an effort to streamline web payments and make them more secure by default, developers have introduced a new WebAuthn extension that will allow banks and other payment authorizers to approve or deny requests made when you pay through merchants. in line. By placing more power in the hands of the source where your money comes from in order to transact – the banks – greater security can eventually become the basis of future e-commerce efforts in Chrome.

Set default web applications
Chrome will now allow the use of web apps as URL managers, which means any PWA can be set to default for specific types of links or files! Now that this is built right into Chrome, it won’t require any additional work from third-party developers like before. Below you can see an example. It is like when you have to select an app on your Android phone or Windows computer to open a file or link with, only now it is embedded directly to the web!
Save tab groups
My favorite update with Chrome 95 is the ability to save tab groups for later. Right-clicking on an existing tab group will now present you with a “Save Group” toggle. Once saved, your tab group can be fully closed and then reopened from the Find tabs section at the top right of the browser, right next to your minimize button. These groups of tabs will eventually be swallowed up by other history items such as individual site visits. Also, tab groups still don’t show up in history, even though Google implements Journeys there, but this feature is coming and is already showing up on Chrome Canary.

Other improvements
There are many other improvements that come with Chrome 95, such as scrolling screenshots (if you enable the # scroll-capture flag), but the ones we highlighted were some of the most interesting for those who don’t. are not developers. If you are, however, you can expect a color eyedropper tool for web applications, with the File System Access API replaced by the Storage Foundation API and, unfortunately, the FTP URLs removed entirely from the browser. In the past, Google removed FTP capabilities, and now it just cleans up details with URLs. Watch the video below to learn more about URLPattern, the original essays, and more.
