A new Google Chrome update is rolling out on Android and other platforms right now, and is one of the more important ones in terms of user privacy. The new update brings the ability for users to toggle website permissions on a per-site basis, which Google says will be further expanded in the future.

Lastly, Google also adds that it has improved website isolation techniques and improved phishing detection – all of which clearly have a significant impact on browser speed and stability.
