FULL STORY ======================================================================

extension users on the browser to enable and disable extensions on a per-site basis in a move thats set to be a significant improvement over the current on/off for all toggle.

suggests that it may be testing on an A/B mode so not all users will be able to get a sneak preview.

Regardless, when it does become available, its effects will likely be felt by many. Chrome currently accounts for two-thirds (66%) of all desktop web sessions according to the latest Statcounter figures, way ahead of Edge in second place (11%) and Safari in third (9%).
