Google is kicking off the new year with a fresh version of the Chrome browser. Chrome 109\u2014released on January 10, 2023\u2014includes a new Secure Payment Confirmation for Android, Material You support on the desktop, and video conferencing tools.<\/p>\n
Google is proposing a new web standard to make it easier for people to authenticate credit cards, banks, and other payment providers in chrome. It’s called Secure Payment Confirmation (SPC) and it makes it possible to authenticate with your biometric screen unlock method.<\/p>\n
If it’s supported by the bank or payment provider, you’ll be able to skip the typical annoying confirmation dialogs and simply scan your fingerprint. This is more secure than being able to enter details that can be found on your credit card or banking account.<\/p>\n
Screen sharing is a big part of videos calls, but it can be a pain to make sure you’re showing only what you want to show. The Screen Capture API has tools to help with that, and it’s getting even better in Chrome 109.<\/p>\n
The new \u201cConditional Focus\u201d feature allows web apps to control whether the captured tab or window will be focused when capture starts, or whether the capturing page should remain in focus. It’s also getting the ability to suppress local audio playback, which should help when presenting in a room with other people talking.<\/p>\n
