Google has also updated the Android version of the Chrome app to
version 64. The major change in this version is that the browser will
now prevent ads from opening new tabs without your permission.
This is slightly different from pop-up blocking, where usually an ad
will break out of its iframe, called frame busting, and take hold of the
browser navigation and redirect the user to sites where you usually see
messages like your device has virus or some other call to action. This
new change should prevent ads from taking hold of the browser navigation
unless the redirect matches the URL of the current page.
Navigation bar color before and after update on the Pixel 2
Another change is that Chrome has changed its default navigation bar
color from black to white. This is likely to prevent burning-in of the
navigation bar icons on OLED displays. However, we noticed this change
is reflected on very few devices. Our Pixel 2 changed to a white navigation bar but our Note8 and OnePlus 5T
already had a light colored navigation bar as part of the changes made
by their respective manufacturer, so they remained the same after the
update. Meanwhile, our Moto X4
unit running Oreo maintained its own custom black navigation bar even
after the update. So unless your device uses the stock implementation of
the Android navigation bar you won't see this change.
