Version 78 of the Google Chrome browser is now available<\/strong><\/a> for download.<\/p>\n

The updated version is available on Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, Android, and iOS.<\/p>\n

Google has added its Chrome Password Safety tool to Chrome, which allows users to check if their passwords have been leaked.<\/p>\n

The feature was previously available as a Google-made Chrome extension, but the company has now implemented it directly into its browser.<\/p>\n

However, the new version of the feature only works if users have synced their passwords stored on Chrome to their Google account.<\/p>\n

Design improvements<\/h3>\n

Another notable new feature in Chrome 78 is a customisation menu, which allows users to implement new themes, change the appearance of their New Tab page shortcuts, and customise their New Tab wallpaper.<\/p>\n

To enable this feature, users must access the chrome:\/\/flags section of their browser, and enable two things – NTP Customisation Menu Version 2, and Chrome Colours Menu.<\/p>\n

Chrome 78 will also allow users to hover over a tab to see more information about the webpage it contains.<\/p>\n

This feature is called Tab Hover Cards, and is designed to help power users who use lots of tabs at one time.<\/p>\n

Finally, Chrome will allow users to force dark mode across all websites – even on websites that don’t support a dark theme.<\/p>\n

Google doesn’t edit the website’s code to achieve this; rather, it uses “colour theory inversion” to turn light websites into dark versions.<\/p>\n
