Google Chrome (finally?) reduces memory and CPU drain. While a few days ago we were singing the praises of all the novelties of the latest version of Firefox, today it's the turn of its number 1 rival: version 57 of Google Chrome arrives with several new features, foremost among them a savings in the memory and CPU consumption.
After few betas and RCs (Release Candidates), final version of the most popular web browser, Google Chrome has finally released. Google Chrome 72 is available for Windows, Linux, Mac, and Android contains with a number of bug fixes security updates, and newer features.
Google Chrome has redesigned user interface to optimise the browser for touchscreen devices in tablet mode and added app shortcuts for Android apps that are now searchable in the launcher. In addition, Google Chrome 72 also allow files saved via Backup and Sync on Google Drive to be available in the Files app under the My Drive/Computers menu option. Here are the highlight changes for Google Chrome 72.
Google Chrome 72 changes include:
- Resolved issue 3370: Shut down Chrome gracefully or cookie will not be correctly saved to SQLite persistence file; Resolved issue 3401: Get Element Location JS does not locate the visible center of the element; Resolved issue 3462: For sendKeys, CMD key don't work for MAC; Resolved issue 3541: Improve log between Client and ChromeDriver.
- Chrome 72 for Mac, Windows will kill desktop Chromecast setup. A new notice confirms this deprecation and directs users to download and use the Google Home app for Android or iOS.
Remove HTTP-Based Public Key Pinning
HTTP-Based Public Key Pinning (HPKP) was intended to allow websites to send an HTTP header that pins one or more of the public keys present in the site’s certificate chain. Unfortunately, it has very low adoption, and although it provides security against certificate misissuance, it also creates risks of denial of service and hostile pinning. For these reasons, this feature is being removed.
Remove rendering FTP resources
FTP is a non-securable legacy protocol. When even the Linux kernel is migrating off of it, it’s time to move on. One step toward deprecation and removal is to deprecate rendering resources from FTP servers and instead download them. Chrome will still generate directory listings, but any non-directory listing will be downloaded rather than rendered in the browser.

Deprecate TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1
TLS (Transport Layer Security) is the protocol which secures HTTPS. It has a long history stretching back to the nearly twenty-year-old TLS 1.0 and its even older predecessor, SSL. Both TLS 1.0 and 1.1 have a number of weaknesses.
- TLS 1.0 and 1.1 use MD5 and SHA-1, both weak hashes, in the transcript hash for the Finished message.
- TLS 1.0 and 1.1 use MD5 and SHA-1 in the server signature. (Note: this is not the signature in the certificate.)
- TLS 1.0 and 1.1 only support RC4 and CBC ciphers. RC4 is broken and has since been removed. TLS’s CBC mode construction is flawed and was vulnerable to attacks.
- TLS 1.0’s CBC ciphers additionally construct their initialization vectors incorrectly.
- TLS 1.0 is no longer PCI-DSS compliant.
Supporting TLS 1.2 is a prerequisite to avoiding the above problems. The TLS working group has deprecated TLS 1.0 and 1.1. Chrome has now also deprecated these protocols. Removal is expected in Chrome 81 (early 2020).
Picture-in-Picture (PiP) is now enabled by default
Picture-in-Picture (PiP) is now enabled by default in Chrome for Linux, Mac, and Windows. This allows you to watch videos in a floating window (always on top of other windows) so that you can keep an eye on what you’re watching while interacting with other sites, or applications. Note: the floating PiP window works when a web page is using the Picture-in-Picture API. For sites that doesn’t support the mentioned API, you can use the following extension.
