Google Chrome to Add A Secure Payment Feature to Its Browser
This feature enables consistent, low friction, strong authentication experience using platform authenticators. Strong authentication with the user’s bank is becoming a requirement for online payments in many regions. The proposed feature provides a better user experience and stronger security than existing solutions. The upcoming update will also include the EyeDropper API. This API provides a browser-supplied eyedropper for the construction of custom colour pickers. Creative applications built for the web could benefit from an ability to sample a colour from pixels on the screen. Many OS applications, PowerPoint, for example, have this ability but are unable to carry it over to their web equivalents. Moreover, it will also include URLPattern. It is a new web API that provides operating system support for matching URLs given a pattern string. It can be used in JavaScript directly or bypassing patterns to other web platform APIs such as, for example, as a service worker scope. Both web platform features and JavaScript applications often need to match against URLs.

It will allow them to report errors directly to the console. This feature is similar to JavaScript’s uncaught exceptions, and will no doubt prove useful. No doubt, this is one of the most demanding and necessary features. By enabling this feature, users will be able to do online transactions safely. Chrome 95 is in beta testing. So, the users need to wait a bit to get this feature in their region. Google has not revealed any information regarding the availability of these features. But we are hoping that these will be available by the end of this year. Recommended: How does Google Chrome know what you want to search on the internet?
