So if we visit a website that is dangerous, or that has been previously marked as such, we will receive a notification. If there are any that we consider to be dangerous, we can report it then.
Report dangerous web pages
In addition, this list of web pages that are considered dangerous will also be available for Safari or Firefox, apart from Google Chrome. So users in other browsers can also be protected and avoid entering this type of web page at all times. An important step in improving the safety of users in the browser in this way.
Although it is not something that should surprise. For months the Google browser has been introducing improvements in security and privacy. This is something that has been taken quite seriously, so we see results in this regard.
The extension can already be used in Google Chrome. So if you see any suspicious web page, you can add it. Also while browsing, if there is a website that has already been reported, we will know, so that we can avoid entering it, with the consequences that this has.
