The new suspicious site warnings, available when Chrome\u2019s Enhanced Protection is on, build on a similar two-stage system introduced for <a href=\"https:\/\/security.googleblog.com\/2024\/07\/building-security-into-redesigned.html\">Chrome file downloads in 2024<\/a>, which provides visually different notifications for blocked files based on whether they\u2019re determined to be \u201csuspicious\u201d or \u201cdangerous.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">For the Chrome site warnings, the feature will flag a website as suspicious if it detects that it has similar qualities to other sites associated with phishing, malware, and scams. Google describes this warning as having a \u201clower confidence verdict\u201d with possible risk of user harm \u2014 meaning there\u2019s a chance it could be incorrectly flagged, but you should only proceed to the site if you\u2019re 100 percent confident that it\u2019s safe to do so. The warnings on \u201cdangerous\u201d website have a higher confidence verdict and \u201chigh risk of user harm,\u201d however, and should be avoided entirely.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">It\u2019s easy to distinguish between these warnings at a glance. The notifications for suspicious websites will appear as a pop-up window on both desktop and mobile, with the webpage visible but darkened underneath, and an option to \u201cMark as safe\u201d if the site was flagged mistakenly. The already familiar notification for dangerous sites is much harder to ignore: the warning message takes up almost the entire screen and the website will be replaced with a solid red background.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\"><em><strong>Update, October 20th<\/strong>: Clarified that the suspicious site warnings appear when Enhanced Protection mode is on.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/tech\/1014446\/google-chrome-suspicious-website-warning\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google is launching a new browser safety feature for Chrome that aims to keep you better informed about how malicious a website might be before you open it.
