以前，我们都对恼人的弹出窗口感到恼火。即使在您的Chrome(Chrome)浏览器上禁用了弹出窗口，一些网站也会通过诱使您单击错误的按钮来找到一种创建例外的方法。
还有一些网站会创建 cookie 来存储和跟踪您的个人信息。当然，您可以完全禁用 cookie，但这会导致难以使用电子邮件或电子商务等网络服务。
如果您可以逐个站点自定义这些选项，那不是很好吗？事实证明，在Google Chrome中，您可以。就是这样。
什么是内容设置，为什么重要(Important)？
内容设置（或现在称为站点设置）允许用户修改多个活动的站点权限。这包括 cookie、弹出窗口、Javascript和后台同步，以及位置、摄像头和麦克风访问等内容。
使用此方法而不是在 Web 浏览器上完全禁用 cookie 和JavaScript的优点是您可以选择它。您可以选择仅限制有问题的网页，而不影响其余的浏览体验。
最好的部分是这些设置的可访问性。不久前，您需要跳过一堆圈才能找到类似的东西。现在， Chrome允许您通过点击几下来修改浏览的各个方面。
在Google Chrome(Google Chrome)中访问内容设置
访问内容设置很容易。在早期版本的Chrome中，您必须导航到chrome://settings/content，这很难记住。现在您可以在常规的Google Chrome 设置(Google Chrome Settings)中找到它。
- 要修改站点数据和权限，请打开Chrome，单击右上角的三点按钮以打开Chrome菜单，然后从下拉菜单中选择设置。(Settings)
- 现在在“设置”(Settings)页面上，选择“隐私和安全(Privacy and security)”选项卡。
- 有几个选项，包括站点设置(Site Settings)。选择它以调出Chrome(Chrome)中的所有内容设置。
- 设置分为两类——权限(Permissions)和内容(Content)。每个还有一个额外的设置选项来显示高级设置。
- 您可以在条目旁边看到当前权限。大多数设置为“ Site can ask to-”，它要求用户对每个站点的许可。很少是自动授予的，例如JavaScript。如果需要，您可以选择设置以显示禁用JavaScript的选项。一个更好的主意是添加您希望阻止（或启用）的特定网站。
- 某些设置有更多选项。例如，选择Cookies允许您自定义第三方 cookie 在正常浏览和隐身模式下的行为。
- 显示的基本内容设置就是您需要设置的全部内容。选择Additional Permissions会调出许多高级设置，例如运动(Motion)传感器和MIDI设备，这些设置很少发挥作用。
8 附加权限(8 Additional Permissions)
- 如果您只是想关闭来自特定网站的烦人通知，最好的方法是将它们添加到相应的不允许(Not allowed)列表中。即使设置本身设置为自动允许，这也会禁用该特定网页的权限。
这就是它的全部。您可以为列表中列出的任何设置自定义站点权限，从所有站点到单个站点的自定义设置。更改将保存到您的Google帐户，让您可以在登录的任何 PC 上访问相同的配置文件。
(Change Content Settings)从 Omnibar更改内容设置
每次要更改内容设置时，您都不必前往谷歌浏览器的设置。多功能栏 - 基本上是包含地址字段的栏 - 允许您更方便地修改这些设置。
- 首先，单击多功能栏上网页地址旁边的小锁图标。从出现的下拉菜单中选择站点设置。(Site Settings)
- 这会带来与之前相同的内容设置(Content Settings)界面，但特定于当前网站。您现在可以轻松调整任何字段的权限。
请记住，此方法适用于逐个站点，因此，如果您希望进行全面、全面的更改，使用 Google Chrome 的设置是您的最佳选择。
但是，如果您想限制烦人网站的权限（或为他们设置例外），这就是要走的路。
哪些内容(Content) 设置(Settings) 值得修改(Are Worth Modifying)？
内容设置的问题是它们太多了。对于普通用户来说，弄清楚哪些选项可以摆弄以及哪些选项保留默认设置可能会很棘手。以下是一些值得修改的设置的简短概述。
弹出窗口
这些天很少遇到弹出窗口，但它们尚未灭绝。一些网站，尤其是那些充斥着广告的网站，总是会尝试通过弹出广告来打断您的浏览。
默认情况下，谷歌浏览器(Google Chrome)会在显示弹出窗口之前询问您的权限。由于您希望看到的用例并不多，因此您不妨完全禁用它们。您可以在某些受信任的站点上针对特殊情况 临时启用弹出窗口。(temporarily enable pop-ups)
声音
通常，您希望网站能够播放音频。但是，当您浏览网页以获取信息时，扬声器突然发出一些声音可能会令人恼火，尤其是当您在工作场所时。这就是为什么从内容设置(Content Settings)中禁用声音权限通常是个好主意的原因。尽管如果您忘记了您所做的事情，您最终可能会认为声音无法在 Google Chrome 上运行(sound is not working on Google Chrome)。为了解决这个问题，您可以为YouTube等有用的网站添加例外。
广告
当谈到广告时，您会很失望地知道Chrome不会让您完全关闭广告。毕竟，广告是大多数Google服务的获利方式，因此它们不会让您完全禁用它们。
您可以做的是阻止侵入性或误导性广告，这些广告适用于知名度较低的网站。如果您想批量屏蔽广告，最好使用广告拦截器(adblocker)。
后台同步
没有多少用户知道这一点，但就像应用程序可以在您的计算机后台运行一样，有些网站会继续在您的浏览器后台运行。这旨在为您提供响应速度更快的互联网体验。
例如，社交媒体网站可以在您收到新消息后立即通知您，方法是始终与网络服务器同步。虽然它本身没有害处，但它会导致过度使用资源，甚至会耗尽笔记本电脑的电池寿命。
对于在后台不断同步的进程，您可能还存在隐私问题。因此，通常建议从Content Settings关闭后台同步(turn off background sync)。如果您愿意，您可以随时再次启用它。
您应该修改Google Chrome 内容设置(Google Chrome Content Settings)吗？
在大多数情况下，默认设置就足够了。这些权限中的大多数设置为仅在被询问时才允许，让您确认后台同步、自动下载等内容。
其余的是基本功能太不方便关闭，如JavaScript和 cookie。对于这些，为您关注的网站创建例外，让其他网页正常加载会更有效。
如果您担心自己的隐私，您还可以在这里找到浏览器的所有特定于站点的权限。例如，您可以限制对麦克风或运动传感器等潜在数据收集载体的访问，只为您需要和使用的 Web 应用程序启用它们。
Google Chrome Content Settings: A Full Guide
We hаve all been аnnoyed by irritating pop-ups before. Even with pop-ups dіsabled on your Chrome browser, some websites find a way to create an exception by trіcking you into clicking the wrong button.
Then there are sites that create cookies to store and track your personal information. Of course, you can disable cookies entirely, but that makes it difficult to use web services like email or e-commerce.
Wouldn’t it be great if you could customize these options site-by-site? Turns out, in Google Chrome, you can. Here’s how.
What Is Content Settings and Why Is It Important?
Content settings – or site settings as it is now called – allow users to modify site permissions for several activities. This includes cookies, pop-ups, Javascript, and background sync, along with things like location, camera, and microphone access.
The advantage of using this method instead of disabling cookies and JavaScript entirely on the web browser is that you can be selective about it. You can choose to restrict only the problematic web pages, leaving the rest of your browsing experience untouched.
The best part is how accessible these settings are. Not long ago, you needed to jump through a bunch of hoops to find something similar. Now Chrome allows you to modify every aspect of your browsing with a few clicks.
Accessing Content Settings in Google Chrome
Accessing content settings is easy. In the earlier version of Chrome, you had to navigate to chrome://settings/content, which was hard to remember. Now you can find it in your regular Google Chrome Settings.
- To modify site data and permissions, open Chrome, click the triple-dot button on the top-right to open the Chrome menu, and select Settings from the drop-down menu.
- Now on the Settings page, select the Privacy and security tab.
- There are a handful of options, including Site Settings. Select it to bring up all the content settings in Chrome.
- The settings are divided into two categories – Permissions and Content. Each also has an additional settings option to show advanced settings.
- You can see the current permission alongside the entries. Most are set to “Site can ask to-”, which asks the user for permission for every site. Very few are automatically granted, like JavaScript. You can select the setting to bring up the option to disable JavaScript if you want. A better idea is to add particular websites you wish to block (or enable).
- Some settings have more options. Selecting Cookies, for example, allows you to customize the behavior of third-party cookies both in normal browsing and incognito mode.
- The basic content settings on display are all you need to set up. Selecting Additional Permissions brings up many advanced settings like Motion sensors and MIDI devices, which rarely come into play.
8 Additional Permissions
- If you are just looking to shut down annoying notifications from particular websites, the best way is to add them to the respective Not allowed list. This disables the permission for that specific web page, even if the setting itself is set to automatically allow it.
And that’s all there is to it. You can customize site permissions for any of the settings outlined in the list, from all sites to customized settings for individual sites. The changes will be saved to your Google account, letting you access the same profile on any PC you log into.
Change Content Settings From the Omnibar
You don’t have to head to Google Chrome’s settings every time you want to change the content settings. The omnibar – basically the bar containing the address field – allows you to modify these settings much more conveniently.
- To begin, click on the little lock icon by the webpage’s address on the omnibar. Select Site Settings from the drop-down menu that appears.
- This brings up the same Content Settings interface as earlier, but specific to the current website. You can now adjust the permissions for any of the fields easily.
Keep in mind that this method works on a site-by-site basis, so if you are looking to make wide, sweeping changes across the board, using Google Chrome’s settings is your best bet.
But if you want to restrict permissions for an annoying site (or make an exception for them) this is the way to go.
Which Content Settings Are Worth Modifying?
The problem with content settings is that there are too many of them. For a casual user, it can be tricky figuring out which options to fiddle with and which to leave at their default. Here is a short overview of some settings worth modifying.
Pop-ups
It is rare to come across pop-ups these days, but they are not yet extinct. Some websites, especially those infested with ads, will always try to interrupt your browsing with pop-up advertisements.
By default, Google Chrome will ask you for permission before displaying pop-ups. Since there aren’t many use cases where you would want to see one, you might as well disable them entirely. You can temporarily enable pop-ups for special situations on some trusted sites.
Sound
Usually, you want sites to be able to play audio. But when you are browsing the web for information, it can be irritating to have some sound suddenly blasting out of your speakers, especially if you are at your workplace. This is why it is often a good idea to disable sound permissions from Content Settings. Though if you forget what you did, you might end up thinking sound is not working on Google Chrome. To get around this, you can add exceptions for useful websites like YouTube.
Ads
When it comes to ads, you will be disappointed to know that Chrome does not let you shut down advertisements entirely. After all, ads are the way most Google services are monetized, so they are not going to let you disable them entirely.
What you can do is block intrusive or misleading ads, which works on less reputed websites. If you want to block ads wholesale, you are better off using an adblocker instead.
Background Sync
Not many users know this, but just like apps can run in the background of your computer, some sites keep running in the background of your browser. This is designed to give you a more responsive internet experience.
For example, social media sites can notify you as soon as you receive a new message, by syncing with the web server at all times. While not harmful on its own, it can lead to excessive resource utilization, even draining battery life on laptops.
You may also have privacy concerns regarding a process constantly syncing in the background. Thus it is often advised to turn off background sync from Content Settings. You can always enable it again if you wish.
Should You Modify Google Chrome Content Settings?
For the most part, the default settings are good enough. Most of these permissions are set to permit only when asked, letting you confirm things like background sync, automatic downloads, etc.
The rest are essential features too inconvenient to shut down, like JavaScript and cookies. For these, it is more efficient to create exceptions for the websites you are concerned with, letting other web pages load normally.
And if you are concerned about your privacy, this is also where you will find all the site-specific permissions for your browser. For example, you can restrict access to potential data collection vectors like your microphone or motion sensor, only enabling them for the web apps you need and use.
