The technology behind Google Chrome is from the open source project called "Chromium" which has also facilitated the creation of derivative browsers such as SRWare Iron, Comodo Dragon and even Opera's new-generation browser is based off of Chromium. Many believe that it is the fastest browser on the market, but Firefox fans may disagree and even today's revamped Internet Explorer remains contender. With that said, Google Chrome is a fast web browser with a very minimalist interface. Its growth has not been without controversy and increasing awareness of privacy issues with Google's browser have hampered its growth. Microsoft Internet Explorer used to be the king of the castle, slowing being overtaken by Firefox in many countries around the globe and from nowhere, Google Chrome started picking up market share. Additionally, Chrome 89 will no longer support older x86 processors because they won't meet the new requirements to run some features.There are currently three leading browsers on the market and today, Google Chrome seems to be topping the charts thanks to the aggressive advertising campaign that was launched several years ago promoting Google's web browser.

The latest update also brings WebNFC that allows websites to read and write NFC tags on supported Android devices. It will let you see your phone notifications on the desktop, control some features of your Android device from your computer, and sync Google Chrome tabs between the devices.įurthermore, support for WebHID, the API that enables Web applications to interact with devices like VR controls, gamepads, and joysticks, has been fully implemented in Chrome 89. Google is reportedly also introducing Phone Hub for Chrome OS that allows you to connect your Android smartphone to your Chromebook.

As noted by Android Police, developers will not have to add any code for the functionality to work on Windows and Chrome OS. This will allow you to not only share website links with the social media platforms integrated on the website, but with any app on your device that supports it. If a website supports the new Web sharing feature, pressing the Share button on the website will open a native sharing menu that will show all the apps installed on your device. This essentially means that users will now be able to share website links through a native sharing menu - just like it's on Chrome for Android. The second major feature is Web sharing on desktop (Windows and Chrome OS).
One of the key features that Google Chrome 89 brings is customisable user profiles that we reported earlier. While Google has not published detailed changelogs yet, we can take hints from the Chrome 89 beta release announcement that lists all the features coming with the new update. Google says that Chrome 89 includes many stability and performance improvements as well as new features.

The Chrome update brings features like customisable profiles and a work-in-progress Privacy Sandbox, along with a few features that have been in development for a long time such as native web sharing on desktop and Phone Hub for Chrome OS.
