Chrome 84 released with support for blocking notification popups on spammy sites
Summary
Its a new system through which mobile web browsers can detect incoming SMS messages that contain one-time passcodes (OTP) sent as part of two-factor authentication (2FA) procedures. The new API allows Chrome to detect the incoming SMS message and automatically import the one-time code into a web page just by a single screen tap from the user. Expect the API to be used on cooking websites that show the steps of a recipe; websites that show barcodes, tickets, or other content that needs to be scanned; and for online games were interaction with the screen is not needed all the time but the user is clearly looking at the screen (such as sudoku or other similar puzzle games). Starting today, Chrome will also show visible warnings for files downloaded via HTTP from HTTPS sites.
