Usually, this kind of PUP (potentially unwanted program): However, for the tendency to spy on users' browsing habits and its questionable distribution methods, it has been labeled as a browser hijacker. You can read more about them on the Google blog.Developers present New Tab Search as a tool that should help people improve their browsing sessions. There were many updates with this Chrome 69 release. Here are before, after and future examples: Eventually, Google will remove the lock symbol from HTTPS URLs and only show HTTP URLs as being “not secure.” Now with Chrome 69, the URLs are gray with a little lock next to them. With Chrome 68, HTTPS URLs were shown in green. In addition to the Omnibox, Google also changed how it labels HTTPS URLs. I should note that I am able to replicate this behavior on Chrome 69 on a Windows computer but not on a Mac computer. You can search for weather, specific answers, sports scores and much more. Google said with Chrome 69, the Omnibox “will now show you answers directly in the address bar without having to open a new tab - from rich results on public figures or sporting events, to instant answers like the local weather via or a translation of a foreign word.” Now, Google says this is the default behavior for the Omnibox. Google said this feature is new in Chrome 69, although Google had the feature in beta in 2014 and more widely available in Chrome version 45 back in 2015. This is similar to how Google search works, but directly in the Chrome browser. With this release, Google Chrome’s “omnibox,” the bar you type URLs or search queries into, can show you search result answers as you type. On Tuesday, Google released an updated version of its Chrome browser, version 69.
