Google is rolling out a new feature in its Chrome browser that will prompt some users to send passwords for suspicious files. This move is part of Google’s ongoing efforts to enhance security and protect users from potential threats.
According to reports from Ars Technica, Forbes, The Hacker News, The Verge, and Tom’s Guide, the new Chrome Browser Warning will now scan encrypted files for malicious content before they are downloaded. This means that users who attempt to download password-protected files that are flagged as suspicious will be prompted to send the passwords to Google for further scanning.
This upgrade comes as part of Google’s commitment to providing a safe browsing experience for all users. By adding new warnings and cloud scanning capabilities, Chrome aims to keep users protected from dangerous downloads and potential security risks.
So next time you encounter a suspicious file while browsing the web, rest assured that Chrome has your back with its latest security feature. Stay safe online with Chrome’s enhanced protection against malicious content.
