Keyclick suppression chrome update#
On the security side, Google today announced that earlier this year, it quietly rolled out an update to the ML model that powers its Safe Browsing service. And as a bonus, all of that is happening on your local machine, so none of your browsing data makes it onto Google’s servers. The company’s new ML model will now look for prompts that users are likely to ignore and block them automatically. “On the one hand, page notifications help deliver updates from sites you care about on the other hand, notification permission prompts can become a nuisance,” Google admits in its blog post today.
Also, while legitimate sites love to push web notifications to remind readers of their existence, attackers can also use them to send phishing attacks or prompt users to download malware if they get users to give them permission.
Cons: Difficult to get it to work (restarting computer required). Vastly inferior to Chromes built-in accessibility setting (automatic clicks AKA automatically click) Pros: It will click links on a web page. Even if there are some sites - and those are mostly news sites - that may offer some value in their notifications, I can’t remember the last time I accepted one on purpose. Summary: Useless for disabled persons who cant click a mouse might have some other functions. At this point, they have mostly become a nuisance. Starting with the next version of Chrome, Google will introduce a new ML model that will silence many of these notification permission prompts. Google today announced a set of new and updated security features for Chrome, almost all of which rely on machine learning (ML) models, as well as a couple of nifty new ML-based features that aim to make browsing the web a bit easier, including a new feature that will suppress notification permission prompts when its algorithm thinks you’re unlikely to accept them.
