How do you think Google Chrome detects and blocks dangerous websites? It is true that Google scans the internet for this, but we are not talking about a real-time scan. In this sense, Chrome blocks the list of potentially dangerous websites obtained by Google’s scanning. However, Chrome updates this list every 30 to 60 minutes. But what if dangerous websites infiltrate the system during this time? Chrome will prevent this with its new feature.
Google Chrome has introduced a new measure to block dangerous websites
Google’s server side instantly scans potentially dangerous sites. The list created here is added to Chrome’s dangerous websites list every 30 to 60 minutes. However, Google announced in its blog post today that most dangerous sites remain open for only 10 minutes. In this sense, this browsing method introduced for Google Chrome creates a gap that leaves the user exposed.
Since these dangerous sites refresh their list every 30 to 60 minutes, viruses can infiltrate your system without Chrome even noticing. As you know, when you log in to such sites, Chrome warns that the site is not safe and blocks the website. If the site was activated in a short time and you were caught before being added to the list, you are deprived of this protection.
That’s why Google changed the way it scans dangerous websites for Chrome. Accordingly, Google will instantly add the dangerous website list created on the server side to Chrome. Thus, Chrome prevents dangerous websites that appear for a short time by blocking them.
Google plans to reduce phishing attempts by 25 percent with this new feature for Chrome Safe Browsing Standard Protection Mode. The company also guarantees in its statement that your internet privacy will not be violated with this server-side intervention. Accordingly, Google added a statement to its blog that it uses encryption techniques that increase privacy.
Google Chrome, Safe Browsing Standard Protection Mode has reached this feature on desktop and iOS. Android Chrome users have to wait until the end of this month for this new protection feature. Do you think Chrome’s new feature to block dangerous sites will be useful? We are waiting your comments.
