Google is enhancing the security aspects of Chrome by revamping its download experience. The browser will now use AI-powered Google Safe Browsing technology to distinguish between "suspicious files" and "dangerous documents." This categorization will be indicated by different icons, colors, and text, making it easier for users to make informed decisions regarding their downloads.
Enhanced Protection Mode
Chrome users who have enabled Enhanced Protection mode will see an added benefit of automatic deep scanning of downloaded files. This feature removes the necessity for manual security checks, aiming to proactively prevent the download of malicious files.
Improved Clarity and Consistency
By making download warnings clearer and more consistent, Google aims to reduce the chances of users bypassing security measures, thereby enhancing overall online safety.
