Google developing one-click feature to disable active extensions on Chrome
Google is developing a new feature for its Chrome browser that will allow users to disable all active extensions with just one click, according to Gamer Stones. A toggle for this feature has been discovered after activating a flag (chrome://flags/#extensions-menu-access-control) in version 125.0.6398.0. This feature could provide convenience for users who frequently need to deactivate all extensions simultaneously.
Enhanced control over active extensions in Chrome
The upcoming feature in Google's Chrome browser also appears to provide users with more detailed control over active extensions. These extensions will also get their individual toggle, which replaces the previous pin icon, used for pinning extensions to the toolbar. The change was observed after enabling the same flag in the browser's Extensions menu, suggesting a more user-friendly approach to managing browser extensions.
Chrome's Material You makeover on the horizon
Activating the flag in Google Chrome also seems to trigger a Material You makeover, characterized by more rounded corners and vibrant colors. This visual update is expected to be implemented across various platforms including Windows, ChromeOS, Mac, Fuchsia, Linux, and Lacros. The makeover indicates Google's commitment to providing a visually appealing and user-friendly interface across all its platforms.
Google preparing to launch 'Tab Declutter' feature
Google is also reportedly preparing to introduce a "Tab Declutter" feature for Android users. This feature, designed to automatically archive tabs deemed inactive, was recently discovered hidden behind some flags in the browser's settings.
