Google given developers until August 27 to implement any necessary adjustments to make their additions strictly abide by Google’s strict rules.

Google wants to improve this through a set of new rules and policies that will be implemented soon, and all developers must adhere to them or their add-ons will be deleted from the store.

Here is a list of new prohibitions that developers are prohibited from doing:

* The add-on is not allowed to obtain a better position in the search results by manipulating the number of downloads or ratings and reviews.

* The add-ons that you only use are not allowed to run another application or access a specific site.

* It is not allowed for the add-ons that misuse the notifications through displaying ads, annoying promotions, phishing, or any other spam messages that are used by the user and harm the browsing experience.

Google Chrome is the world's most popular browser, and for good reason. It's packed with useful tools that connect you to the internet every day, like dark mode, toolbar playback controls and a "privacy sandbox" coming later this year.

But it's also hard to keep up with all the browser changes. After all, you can't very well store your login credentials in Chrome's password manager if you don't know it exists.

Chrome load up like it's never been on the internet before, without browsing history and cookies, and will block access to other Chrome profiles,like the one where you keep all your usernames and passwords.

And the only browser setting guest mode users can change is the default search engine, so you'll get your browser back more or less the way you had it.
