Google has added a new feature to Chrome 86 that aims to stomp out abusive notification content. Chrome 86 will automatically block malicious notifications that may be used for phishing or malware. When visitors encounter a webpage with malicious notification content, the webpage will be blocked and a Chrome alert on the upper navigation bar will warn them that the website might be trying to trick them into displaying intrusive notifications. Google also warned of an update to its Chrome browser that patches a zero-day vulnerability in the software s FreeType font rendering library.
