• JavaScript is commonly used by web developers to make their sites more interactive. If you choose to disable JavaScript, you may find that some sites don't work properly.
• Plug-ins are used by websites to enable certain types of web content (such as Flash or Windows Media files) that browsers can't inherently process. They're allowed by default. Learn more about managing plug-ins
• Pop-ups are blocked by default from appearing automatically and cluttering your screen. Learn more about managing pop-ups
• Location requests: Google Chrome alerts you by default whenever a site wants to use your location information. Learn more about location sharing
• Notifications: Some websites, such as Google Calendar, can show notifications on your computer desktop. Google Chrome alerts you by default whenever a site wants permission to automatically show notifications.
