"Google Chrome Enhances Real-Time Privacy and Security Features"

TL;DR Summary
Google has introduced real-time browsing protection to Chrome's Safe Browsing feature, claiming to enhance privacy by hiding visited URLs. The new Standard mode now offers real-time checking, utilizing an API to conceal URLs from Google and sending encrypted versions to a privacy server before cross-referencing with Safe Browsing's database. This process aims to maintain user privacy while improving phishing protection, with the feature currently available on Chrome for desktop and iOS, and set to roll out to Android later this month.
