The Windows Defender
Browser Protection extension for Google Chrome allows you to add an
additional layer of protection when browsing online, powered by the
same trusted intelligence found in Microsoft Edge. When you navigate
to a website that has been reported as malicious, you will see a red
warning screen letting you know that the web page you are about to
visit is known to be harmful, giving you a clear path back to safety
with one click.
The add-on offers
real-time protection against a variety of online threats such as
phishing attacks and malicious websites. As these security options
are already available in Chrome, take it as an additional layer of
security. Some may see no need to have too much protection, while
others will see the doubling up of protection as unnecessary.
If you click a malicious link in an email or navigate to a site designed to trick you into disclosing financial, personal or other sensitive information, or a website that hosts malware, Windows Defender Browser Protection will check it against a constantly updated list of malicious URLs known to Microsoft.Microsoft says:
Based on NSS Labs
2017 Web Browser Security Comparative Reports Microsoft
Edge can deliver a much more efficient protection compared to Chrome
and Firefox when measuring the browsers’ protection against
phishing attacks. The Windows Defender Browser Protection extension for chrome uses the same security technology as in Microsoft Edge.
You can get the
Windows Defender Browser Protection extension through the Chrome web store.
I have installed the
extension just now and will see how well it works. I am sure it will
work pretty well. Please share your experiences should you
install the Windows Defender Browser Protection extension for chrome.
