When you use Google Safe Browsing in Chrome, you receive warnings that help protect you against malware, abusive sites and extensions, phishing, malicious and intrusive ads, and social engineering attacks.
Safe Browsing crawls and analyses the web to discover potentially harmful sites and adds them to its lists. Each time that you visit a website or attempt a download, Chrome checks with Safe Browsing based on the protection level that you've selected.
You can choose:
- Enhanced protection: Google's most secure browsing experience, enhanced protection offers security from known and potential new dangers.
- Standard protection: By default, standard protection offers security from known dangers.
- No protection (not recommended): You can also turn off Safe Browsing, but you won't be protected against potentially dangerous websites, downloads and extensions. Your Safe Browsing setting in other Google products won't be affected.
You can choose to visit an unsafe site or download a file after you receive a warning from Chrome.
