Hi,

I recently returned to Chrome, because Edge-Chromium did not work well with Elementor plug-in (point and click basic blocks, could not be selected, selected advanced templates and pages worked). So I noticed that it had an interesting Site Settings (ar least Edge-chromium did not have it) called "File Editing". In the past it was not possible to manipulate the build Access Control Lists of Chrome, but now you can block websites accessing your files.

Also a new privacy option has been added (well at least for me returning to Chrome) to prevent misuse of prefetch reqests (lowest, second option).
