Site isolation was considered to be resource intensive [5] due to an increase in the amount of memory space taken up by the processes. [30] This performance overhead was reflected in real world implementations as well. [31] Chrome's implementation of site isolation on average took one to two cores more than the same without site isolation. [5]
On Linux, Google Chrome/Chromium can store passwords in three ways: GNOME Keyring, KWallet or plain text. Google Chrome/Chromium chooses which store to use automatically, based on the desktop environment in use. [142] Passwords stored in GNOME Keyring or KWallet are encrypted on disk, and access to them is controlled by dedicated daemon software.
Web Environment Integrity (WEI) is an abandoned API proposal previously under development for Google Chrome. [1] A Web Environment Integrity prototype existed in Chromium, [2] [3] but was removed in November 2023 after extensive criticism by many tech groups. [4]
HTTPS Everywhere was inspired by Google's increased use of HTTPS [8] and is designed to force the usage of HTTPS automatically whenever possible. [9] The code, in part, is based on NoScript's HTTP Strict Transport Security implementation, but HTTPS Everywhere is intended to be simpler to use than No Script's forced HTTPS functionality which requires the user to manually add websites to a list.

Chromium is a free and open-source web browser project, primarily developed and maintained by Google. [3] It is a widely-used codebase, providing the vast majority of code for Google Chrome and many other browsers, including Microsoft Edge, Samsung Internet, and Opera.
Process isolation can be implemented with virtual address space, where process A's address space is different from process B's address space – preventing A from writing onto B. Security is easier to enforce by disallowing inter-process memory access, in contrast with less secure architectures such as DOS in which any process can write to any ...
When a browser isolation technology is delivered to its customers as a cloud hosted service, this is known as remote browser isolation (RBI), a model which enables organizations to deploy a browser isolation solution to their users without managing the associated server infrastructure.
uBlock Origin (/ ˈ j uː b l ɒ k / YOO-blok [5]) is a free and open-source browser extension for content filtering, including ad blocking.The extension is available for Firefox and Chromium-based browsers (such as Chrome, Edge, Brave, and Opera).
