Google has started experimenting with a small but interesting upgrade to Chrome designed to make it harder for users to download malware without realising they are doing so. Chrome’s current defence against criminal websites is the Safe browsing API, which checks a URL against a list of blacklist of known bad sites. The new tweak is to warn users when they are downloading a file associated with a blacklisted site. The feature has been available to Chrome’s development release channel subscribers for some time, but the company now wants to roll it out to all users.”]
