Google Chrome finally rolls out a powerful way to block phishing attempts


The browser now has real-time protection against phishing and malware attacks for all users.

Google announced today that it has beefed up security for the Standard protection mode in Chrome's Safe Browsing feature. While live monitoring is now turned on by default in the Standard Protection mode, not everyone might be comfortable with Google scanning every URL you visit and every file you download. This protocol sends partially hashed URLs to Google's Safe Browsing engine without revealing users' private details such as IP addresses.
