Google and contributors of Chromium are working on multiple improvements for the Chrome browser. After testing the Tab Groups, Tab previews, Google is now working on another new feature called “Focus Mode”.

The new focus mode can be enabled by users when navigating the web. It’s not clear as to how the feature is supposed to work but it appears that Google plans to bring this nifty change to all platforms including Windows.

The new focus mode is currently is being tested and while the flag is already live in Chrome Canary, the focus mode is not working at the moment. Canary Browser is the testing browser version of Google allowing the company to test new features before publicly releasing them.

The feature is still in its early stage of development and there has been no ETA announced as to when it would be enabled for the stable version. Focus mode once enabled will block notifications and let the users browse the internet without any distractions.

The feature is expected to be on similar lines to Focus Assist available for Windows 10 users which blocks notifications when in full screen.

Google is working on allowing users to see Extension Activity for its Chrome browser which also helps users to freeze things if any unusual activity is spotted.

Google has released this feature in the Chrome Canary browser by enabling a flag (–enable-extension-activity-logging) and visiting the chrome://extensions page.

The extension feature could help both researchers and users to identify any malicious extensions. Since the feature is currently in its early stage of development we are not sure as to when the company would release is to the stable version.
