Google Chrome seems to be focusing on improving the user experience in 2024, which is quite significant considering that it is currently the most used browser. Therefore, Chrome will try to reduce notifications to users, as they can often become very annoying.
In this way, Chrome continues to consolidate the path it wants to take this year by improving the usability and convenience of users, something that rivals like Firefox are also currently doing. Therefore, they could not stay behind in this type of advances.
Helping to reduce notifications
As Chromium has revealed, Google is working on the possibility for users to disable notification sending by the application. They could already be managed individually, but the possibility of a single button being able to disable all notifications of content by the application will help many users have a cleaner notification interface on their smartphone.
In addition, this option can be reversed whenever desired, so you don’t have to worry if you deactivate all notifications at once and later you want to activate them again. With this, Google gives the user greater control over what they want to see on their device.
Battle against cookies
On the other hand, Google Chrome is also running for this 2024 to offer a new browsing model, which is more beneficial for users tired of cookies, and that preserves privileges for websites and their data collections. Google wants to eradicate third-party cookies from the network, and for this it has a meticulous plan that is already starting to put to the test on selected users.
If it works as expected, it could mean that browsing becomes a much more satisfying experience, especially after cookie banners, despite helping manage user privacy, have made browsing much more annoying. Therefore, if Google succeeds in making the cookieless model thrive, where each session already has pre-collected data so that websites don’t have to use them, it could mean a permanent change in internet browsing as we know it today.
