Google Chrome Will Soon Have A Paid Version With Better Security

Google Chrome is among the most used web browsers across the globe, and there are several reasons for it. One of them is the ease of use and the several useful add-ons. In a world where data is the new oil, Google seems to be taking data security very seriously. The company has launched several features to protect users from potential online threats. 

However, it’s hard to keep up with the growing fleet of people with nefarious intentions and malware. That said, it’s advisable to invest in security management and breach detection. Now, Google has decided to roll out a version of Chrome to address such issues, specifically for business customers.

What’s Different In Google Chrome’s Paid Version?

Google’s new edition of Chrome is dubbed Chrome Enterprise Premium, which comes in two options -- Core, which is the free version, and Premium, which is the paid version. The company has positioned the new product as a browser that will protect users against online threats more efficiently.

The company claims to achieve this through automatic updates to protect users against new vulnerabilities, and custom site permission across all managed devices. The new Chrome version is also built to keep suspicious add-ons at bay, to protect users from hackers.

How Is The Paid Version Different From The Regular Version?

The paid version brings along some business-specific benefits. For instance, managers will be able to restrict the number of documents that can be uploaded or printed by other users to ramp up security. Besides, Chrome Enterprise also works with other enterprise software, including Google Workspace.

However, there are bigger differences between the paid and free versions of Chrome Enterprise. The Premium edition offers users with data loss prevention and malware deep scanning, but this feature isn’t available on the free version. That said, users will still be able to access key benefits through the Core version, including phishing and malware protection.

Despite such advancements in the enterprise-focused browser, Google hasn’t ignored its regular Chrome users. Recently the company started testing new security features for the browser that will restrict website permission as per the users. Users will have more control over which sites can access mouse and keyboard control. These might not seem like huge improvements, but they might go a long way in terms of curbing malicious activity trying to gain access to sensitive information.
