Google introduced Enhanced Protection in Chrome over half a decade ago. Since then, the company has added several new tools to identify increasingly sophisticated online threats and protect Chrome users from them. Now, Google is introducing three new features in Enhanced Safe Browsing Protection to combat web scams and further protect users.
Google Chrome now takes a two-tiered approach to site safety warnings, displaying either a suspicious website pop-up or a full-screen dangerous site warning. When a Chrome user navigates to a website displaying known deceptive patterns, Chrome will show a new suspicious website pop-up informing the user that the site might not be safe.
