Google has launched a new version of its web browser, Google Chrome, for Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and iOS. The version 79 includes built-in warnings about hacked passwords and protection against real-time phishing.
And this version - which the company announced last Tuesday - enhances the security of the most popular browser in the world, as it warns users if their password was stolen in a security breach, so that if logging into a website using hacked login data, Chrome will display Warning that tells you to hack.
Chrome also warns you if you browse a fraudulent phishing site, and Google's Safe Browsing service maintains a comprehensive list of phishing sites that update every thirty minutes.
It also suggests that you change the hacked login information everywhere it is used, and this feature works with passwords that are synced and stored within the Chrome browser only.
Google stores the usernames and hacked passwords in previous data breaches with a strong encryption algorithm, so that users' information does not appear.
The company says that this update leads to capture harmful sites more accurately and quickly by 30% "and we offer this protection to everyone by enabling the setting to make search and browsing better" in Chrome, which is used by more than one billion users.
