With the introduction ofmacOS “Big Sur”, Apple added an array of privacy features to its built-in web browser, Safari. AlthoughSafari was already a safe web-browser, with the added features to monitor trackers on the web, it became one of the safest web-browser out there. Being a Chrome user myself, I can just wish to get the Safari features on my web browser for some added security. However, sometimes wishes do come true! And in this piece, I am going to tell you how you can also add Safari-like privacy features to Google Chrome.

You can also set specific permissions for the extension from the “Manage Extensions” page. To do this, follow the steps below:

Similar to this extension, there is another one called “Disconnect” that works the same way. It is also designed to keep trackers and targetted ads away from users in Chrome. You can add it to your extension library by following the previous steps.
