5 Reasons Why You Should Enable Enhanced Protection in Chrome
1 min read
Summary
Google Chrome’s new Enhanced Protection promises to keep users safe from the majority of threats, both known and emerging, through the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning, reveals Make TechEasier.
Such features include scanning content in real-time to identify potential threats not yet on a recognised malware list, using Gemini Nano to detect phishing attempts, particularly sophisticated attacks known as homograph attacks, and deep scanning of downloads, even those which are encrypted.
However, arguably the most significant benefit of Enhanced Protection is users’ ability to contribute to a safer web for everyone, since the tool allows Google to block and report any new threats and ensure they are prevented for all users, not just those with Enhanced Protection.
The only downside is the slight invasion of privacy to collect anonymous data to build the machine learning algorithms, but this is a small price to pay for excellent protection from threats, argues the article.
