Google publishes the stable version 93 of its browser. This is a relatively minor update when it comes to what’s new for the end user.
Tab groups are now visible in the recently closed item history, with the ability to quickly restore if necessary all tabs in the group.
It is also planned to facilitate the restoration of individual tabs of a recently closed group with their detailed view. It is clear that the deployment is gradual and in line with the revitalization of chrome://flags/#tab-restore submenus.
For some users, a new icon replaces the lock in the address bar when viewing HTTPS-enabled websites. The new icon looks like a down arrow. You are supposed to encourage users to click on it to get more information about the connection. The flag remains “not secure” for communication over HTTP.
The New Tab page may now display Drive files that the user might need.
WebOTP (Web One Time Password) technology is used to verify that the phone number belongs to the user by creating a one-time password upon receipt of a specially designed SMS message. It is implemented to allow the computer to transparently enter a code sent to the Android smartphone. You must be logged into the smartphone and Chrome browser on the computer with the same Google account.
After Chrome 93, Chrome 94 is expected to be released fairly quickly on September 21st. However, it is this version 94 that will mark the official start of the browser’s four-week publishing cycle.
