How Google Chrome will prevent websites from spying on you

As part of its effort to maintain user-privacy, Google Chrome is building a feature that could ultimately keep websites from spying on you.

The capability, which has been spotted in the developer build of the browser, will keep websites from accessing sensor data of your phone/computer.

For those unaware, this information can be used by websites/advertisers for tracking your movements and more. How Google Chrome will prevent websites from spying on you

Tracking using motion sensor

A few years back, a study revealed that potential attackers can use websites to fetch the motion sensor (accelerometer and gyroscope) data from a visitor's device.

The research claimed that the information mined by websites (via different APIs) could be used to determine your movements, including data like if you are moving, standing still, or traveling by car or train.

Then, this information can be used to build user profiles

The movement information from the sensors can then be combined with web activity to build unique profiles of the visitors and track, surveil and monetize them. MSPoweruser claims that sensor information could even be used to recognize your unique walking gait.

Chrome is already working on a preventive method

Since many users want to protect themselves from being tracked by websites, Google Chrome is testing an option to allow or block censors for websites in the Canary.

These features will be available to both Android and desktop users, giving them the option to choose whether websites should know the speed and light sensors, and if the website starts getting information about things like light sensors in Chrome. There may be danger messages

And while you will be reading this post, this feature will be available in Chrome.

And you should not forget to check this post, this is also part of motion in censor motion or light and do not forget to follow

How this feature would work

The feature, enabled by default, can be accessed from the 'Content' section in browser settings.

Meaning, whenever you open a page accessing sensors, the browser will generate an omnibox pop-up, similar to the one that opens for GPS or mic permissions, notifying about the access.

It will have two options: either allow sensor access for the page or block it permanently for that page.



Information


Per-site control only for desktop users

As of now, sensor access for individual websites can only be controlled on the desktop version of Chrome Canary. Android users, as HackingTruth.in(Kumaratuljaiswal) screenshots indicated, will get a single toggle to control access for all websites at once.

When this feature will be available

According to Chromium developers' message board, the feature has been targeted for Chrome 75.

As of now, the browser is on version 73, which means it might be a few months before it debuts in a stable release.

Also, in addition to this feature, Google has also been testing a dark mode for Chrome which would also recolor web pages.

Disable Motion Sensors

Load chrome://settings/content/sensors in the Chrome address bar(Computer/Smartphone).

Doing so opens the Sensor permissions in the browser.

Toggle "Allow sites to use motion and light sensors" to enable or disable Sensors globally.

Whats app Web How to Enable Dark Mode in a Simple Trick

WhatsApp is a very popular messenger app that is used all over the world and this application exists with a very beautiful web interface.  After accessing it all people can send messages to each other, irrespective of the place of the world.

Recently, WhatsApp had provided a dark mode future to all the users inside its application and all the users are waiting for them to use WhatsApp Dark mode in their browser and according to a report, the dark mod features in the browser of WhatsApp is going to come very soon.  It is currently under development and very soon the users may get to see these features.

That is why, before coming to this features, we are telling you a very good way, with the help of which you can run WhatsApp web in dark mode in your browser.

How To enable This Feature ?

Dark mode features have already been given to many users in WhatsApp applications.  But if you want.  Running WhatsApp in dark mode inside your browser.  For this, there is a very simple way that you have to activate.



#First of all, open the official website of your https://web.whatsapp.com/


#Open WhatsApp Web from the official page web.whatsapp.com.


#Log-in to the web interface: You need to open WhatsApp on your phone > tap on three-dot icons on the top right corner > tap on ‘WhatsApp Web’. Now scan the QR Code on the computer screen with your phone.


#Once you are logged in, right-click on the blank area outside the chat and select ‘Inspect’.


#The browser shows the inspector or console and the code of the page. Now you need to scroll to find the string— body class=“web”






#WABetaInfo said that “web” is the class of the original theme, the one we are currently using. To enable dark mode, we need to replace it with “web dark”.


#Once you replace the string, WhatsApp Web will turn to Dark Mode.



We tried the method and it worked fine for us. However, since changing the string using Inspect on a web page is only for preview purpose, WhatsApp Web will turn to normal mode once you refresh the page or close it.

The WhatsApp tracker also confirmed that the Dark Theme is not yet available and the platform is testing the feature in order to ensure a bug-free experience. Since the feature is under development, it is currently not available in the WhatsApp Web or the WhatsApp Desktop app.

In many mobile browsers the URL bar and user interface control remains on the top screen of the mobile but some devices are like this. And on which some such user interface is not completely good and can be seen on the top screen of the mobile...And just as Google Chrome browser has some such extension or some such hidden settings, using them you can change the user interface of the browser and help to look better. How to unlock hidden setting UI in chrome browser

Hidden Setting Enable

The feature is part of the “Duet” redesign for Chrome and will hopefully be easier to enable in the future, but for now, Chrome users can turn on the hidden menu by editing the app’s flags.

Open the Android Chrome app and go to chrome://flags, then search for “Duet” in the search bar. Tap the drop-down menu next to “Chrome Duet” and select the button configuration you want from the drop-down menu.






Here’s what each option does:

• “Enabled” or “Home-Search-Share variation:” Adds home, search, and share button to the bottom menu.

• “NewTab-Search-Share variation:” Adds new tab, search, and share button to the menu.

• “Home-Search-TabSwitcher variation:” Adds home, search, and new tab shortcut to the menu.

• “Default” and “Disabled” will turn off the Duet UI.

Select the button configuration you want (I find the “Home-Search-TabSwitcher” variation to be the most convenient), then tap “Relaunch” at the bottom of the menu to apply the changes and restart the app. You should see a new shortcut menu at the bottom of the screen once Chrome loads.

Personally, I wish Chrome’s URL bar made the jump to the bottom of the screen as well, but having at least a few of the most-used buttons easily tappable makes Chrome mobile much easier to use on larger screens.
