"Google Chrome Enhances Real-Time Protection and Privacy Features for Safer Browsing"

Google is enhancing the default Safe Browsing mode in Chrome to provide real-time protection against malicious websites by incorporating real-time checks from the Enhanced protection mode. This update aims to block 25% more phishing attempts and is available on the latest desktop and iOS versions of Chrome, with an Android update coming later. The company emphasizes privacy, stating that Safe Browsing doesn't share visited site URLs with Google and uses hashing and encryption for user protection. Additionally, Chrome's Password Checkup feature on iOS now warns about weak and reused credentials in addition to compromised passwords.
