Overview

• Google has upgraded Chrome's Safe Browsing feature to provide real-time protection against phishing and malware by checking sites against a server-side list.
• The new system uses privacy-preserving techniques to ensure that no one, including Google, can see the websites users visit.
• Safe Browsing's real-time protection is now available on desktop and iOS, with Android support coming later this month.
• Chrome on iOS also receives an update to its Password Checkup feature, flagging weak and reused passwords in addition to compromised ones.
• The upgrade aims to block 25% more phishing attempts, enhancing security for over 5 billion devices protected by Safe Browsing.
