June 3rd, 2021 Google is beefing up the protections in Chrome's Enhanced Safe Browsing mode, which the company rolled out in 2020 to add an extra layer of security. It'll add new features centered around extensions and downloads. If you have Enhanced Safe Browsing switched on and you're about to install an extension from the Chrome Web Store that isn't part of a trusted list, you'll see a popup informing you of that. Currently, around 75 percent of extensions are considered trusted. To have their extensions designated as such, developers need to abide by the Chrome Web Store Developer Program Policies. New developers need to stick to the rules for at least a few months before they're considered trusted.
