Password Manager Improvements
Google Chrome has a pretty goodbuilt-in password manager. Chrome 110 adds a few enhancements to make it even better. For starters, thecompromised password featureworks with even more websites now, taking you directly to where you may change your password.
Even better, Chrome’s password manager is getting one of Chrome for Android’s features.Just like on your Android phone, you can use a biometric method to confirm your identity before thebrowser autofills a password. If your PC doesn’t have biometrics, it will use whichever screen lock method you have.
Better Google Translate Controls
Chrome has Google’s excellent Translate service built in, but adjusting the settings can be annoying. You have to specifically visit a website thatprompts the Translate featureto kick in if you want to tweak it.
Chrome 110 finally adds Google Translate settings to the regular browser settings. you may go to chrome://settings/languages and choose a default language, set languages to auto-translate, and choose languages to never translate.
Nvidia RTX Super Resolution Support
Nvidia RTX Video Super Resolution is a tool that can upscale video playing in a browser. For example, if you have a 4K computer display, it can upscale a video from 1080p to 4K directly in the web player. Chrome 110supports this feature.
As the name implies, this only works with Nvidia RTX graphic cards, specifically the newer RTX 3000 andRTX 4000 series models.
More Enhanced “Enhanced Safe Browsing”
“Enhanced Safe Browsing” rolled out to Google Chrome in early 2021. It builds on the “Safe Browsing” feature with a handful of additional features. Chrome 110 enhances it even more with the ability to analyze cookie requests from extensions to better spot malware.
