Dark Theme now applies to\u00a0scroll bars on many of Chrome\u2019s internal pages. That includes Settings, Bookmarks, History, New Tab Page, and more. It\u2019s not yet present on websites that support dark themes.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"No_More_FTP_in_Google_Chrome\"><\/span>No More FTP in Google Chrome<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>With Chrome 88, Google Chrome <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/web\/updates\/2020\/12\/chrome-88-deps-rems\">no longer supports<\/a> FTP URLs\u2014in other words, ftp:\/\/ addresses.<\/p>\n<p>FTP support is a legacy feature that has no support for encrypted connections (no FTPS). An attacker could modify files you\u2019re downloading in transit, unlike with encrypted HTTPS or FTPS where this isn\u2019t possible. As Chrome and other browsers are shifting toward an always-encrypted web, dropping old protocols like this makes sense.<\/p>\n<p>Google has been working on removing FTP from Chrome for a while, but it was still available for some people\u2014and a flag could enable it. Google\u2019s usage data showed that very few people used FTP. Now, all FTP support is disabled. If you want to use FTP, you\u2019ll need a separate FTP app.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"No_More_Support_for_Mac_OS_X_Yosemite\"><\/span>No More Support for Mac OS X Yosemite<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Google is officially dropping support for Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite in Chrome 88. Mac users will need OS X 10.11 El Capitan or newer to use Chrome 88. This shouldn\u2019t come as a shock, since Apple hasn\u2019t supported Yosemite since 2017.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Legacy_Browser_Add-on_Gone_for_Good\"><\/span>Legacy Browser Add-on Gone for Good<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>With Chrome 85, Google removed its Legacy Browser Support add-on as the functionality became baked into Chrome. Chrome 88 takes it a step further and disables all installed instances of the add-on.<\/p>\n<p>LBS was designed for IT admins to call up Microsoft Internet Explorer in Chrome for older apps written for that browser as well as intranet sites. Since it\u2019s now built into Chrome, the add-on is unnecessary.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Less_Intrusive_Permission_Requests\"><\/span>Less Intrusive Permission Requests<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-709602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/2021-01-15_10-13-24.jpg\" alt=\"permission chip\" width=\"582\" height=\"229\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Chrome 88 is experimenting with a smaller and less intrusive way to ask for permissions. Instead of the pop-up that covers the website content, a new \u201cchip\u201d appears to the left of the URL.<\/p>\n<p>The chip first appears with full text such as \u201cUse Your Location?\u201d After a few seconds, it minimizes to simply a small icon. Clicking the chip, which appears as a blue oval, brings up the permission prompt you\u2019re used to seeing.<\/p>\n<p>You can try out the new permission \u201cchips\u201d right now by enabling the flag at\u00a0<code>chrome:\/\/flags\/#permission-chip<\/code><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Testing_Light_Dark_Themes_for_Chrome_OS\"><\/span>Testing Light &amp; Dark Themes for Chrome OS<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-709612\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/chrome-os-light-dark-1.png\" alt=\"chrome os light and dark theme\" width=\"582\" height=\"389\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Google is testing more defined light and dark themes for Chromebooks. The theme can be toggled from the Quick Settings menu. Themes affect the Shelf, App Launcher, and Quick Settings panel.

Chrome 88 brings it to those platforms via a Chrome flag.<\/p>\n<p>When it\u2019s enabled, you get a drop-down arrow in the top tab bar that shows all of your open tabs when selected.
