With the release of Google Chrome 80, Google quietly slipped in a new feature that allows users to create a link directly to a specific word or phrase on a web page. Brave Browser security researcher Peter Snyder thinks this feature introduces privacy risks that Google did not address before making the feature live. Google Chrome developer David Bokan says he is still working on adding an opt-in option for this feature. With the privacy concerns raised, it was surprising to learn that Google went ahead and enabled this feature by default in Chrome 80 without any further discussion in the raised privacy issue.
