Web Browser : Google Chrome - Enable Strict Site Isolation How I enable the Strict Site Isolation Option in Google Chrome. (...because of Spectre & Meltdown) _________________________ *N.B./Disclaimer - This video shows one of possibly many ways, under one computer's configuration, to implement the desired effect. If you choose to follow this example, you do so AT YOUR OWN RISK.* ___________________________ Download: KB4056891 & KB4056892 https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=kb4056891 https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=kb4056892 There are other patches for other Versions here too. You'll need their respective KB numbers. ___________________________ Links: Articles: https://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-protect-your-pc-against-the-intel-chip-flaw/ by Matt Elliott http://windowsreport.com/kb4056891-kb4056890-kb4056888-kb4056893-kb4056897/ by Madeleine Dean https://www.chromium.org/Home/chromium-security/site-isolation ___________________________ Open Google Chrome on whatever Device it is installed on and in the Address Bar type: chrome://flags then press the Enter Key Once that Page has opened, go to to the Customize and Control Google Chrome Button or Menu or the Hamburger Button in the top left corner of the Browser, Click it ...then select Find or Find in Page if on an Android Device. In the Search Box type the word: Isolation You should now see all the options that contain the word "Isolation" highlighted. Go to the one with the Heading of "Strict Site Isolation" and click the Link at the bottom of the Option Description that now reads "Enable" so that it is changed to "Disable". There-by enabling the Option, of course. Right above the "Disable" link that I changed from "Enable" is a Link the reads "#enable-site-per-process", right-click it and choose "Copy Link Address" You can use this after Chrome re-starts to quickly double-check the Setting to make sure it's set as desired. You will notice that Google Chrome will pop-up an Action Button at the bottom of the Browser asking you to "Relaunch Now" in order for the changes to take affect. Click it. Once the Web Browser has re-started go back to the Address Bar and paste-in the Link that was copied and make sure it was applied properly. Again, I'd do this on any Device running Google Chrome and do my Web Surfing in Google Chrome until the Hardware Companies, i.e. Intel, AMD and ARM can roll-out patches to Companies such as Dell, HP and so forth. Firefox 's latest Update, also, adds mitigation for Spectre. ___________________________ The entire Article can be found here: https://www.tkcomputerservice.com/web-browser-chrome-strict-site-isolation.htm
