Another Reason to Use Chrome

March 2, 2015

Google continues to modify its products and services to enhance security and provide privacy tools. That’s not to say that it doesn’t collect a lot of information from Android devices and searches, but the user can control some of the data collection. In a recent blog post, Google announced an additional feature for Chrome. Besides showing a warning before downloading unwanted software, Chrome now has an additional warning message. Chrome will show you a warning before you visit a site that encourages downloads of unwanted software.

Google search will also indicate sites that encourage unwanted software downloads. That should also help reduce the number of visits to those deceptive sites that end up showing in the search results. Finally, Google is working to disable ads that send you to those same sites that try to get you to download the nasty stuff.
