How to turn on Enhanced Protection on Google Chrome
Imagine visiting a website only to be bombarded with spam messages or risky links thereafter. Thankfully, Enhanced Protection on Google Chrome, also known as "Enhanced Safe Browsing", is a setting designed to shield you from such threats.
It offers proactive warnings against potentially dangerous websites, downloads, and extensions, even those not widely recognized as harmful. This advanced feature provides superior protection against phishing scams and malware compared to Chrome's default standard protection. Moreover, it achieves this heightened security by sending more browsing data to Google for analysis.
If you are wondering how you can enable this feature on your browser and stay safer online, here's how.
