Set the Security Levels to Receive Timely Safety Alerts
Safe Browsing is a Chrome browser extension that helps you navigate safely in the jungle of the wild internet. Once we identify a potential safety threat, we will send you a notification to prevent you from jumping directly into a safety pitfall.

The world wide web is a jungle. We want to make sure that when you navigate the internet, you will not jump into a pitfall. Our extension provides you the necessary and customized security warnings once a potentially unsafe domain is detected.
Essentially, the message is the same: we want to let you know if a domain that you are about to visit is safe or unsafe. The difference lies in the different ways that we let you know. Some users don't like a full-screen notification. Others might miss the notification if it's inside a small notification box on the lower corner. It depends on which type of notifications you'd like to receive.
