Bleeping Computer reported:
Google announced today that it is bringing additional security to the Google Chrome standard Safe Browsing feature by enabling real-time phishing protection for all users.
To provide better security, Google introduced an Enhanced Safe Browsing feature in 2020 that offers real-time protection from malicious sites you are visiting. It does this by checking in real-time against Google's cloud database to see if a site is malicious and should be blocked.
This feature, though, comes with a tradeoff in privacy, as Google Chrome will now send URLs you open (including downloads) back to Google's servers to check if they are malicious. The feature will also send a small sample of pages to Google to discover new threats.
