How to change your safe browsing settings on Chrome


Welcome to TNW Basics, a collection of tips, guides, and advice on how to easily get the most out of your gadgets, apps, and other stuff.

Google has been offering safe browsing protection in its browsers for a while. This essentially means that you’re protected from harmful URLs, or dangerous events that might result in data-stealing

There are multiple levels of security provided by Google under this protection feature. Here’s how you can check yours:

  • Open Google Chrome on your desktop.
  • Head to Settings > Security.
  • Scroll down to the Safe browsing section.
  • Under that, you can choose, ‘Enhanced’, ‘Standard’, or ‘No Protection’ option. However, no protection is not usually recommended.
