Google announced on October 20, 2026, that Chrome will now show warnings before users visit websites flagged as suspicious, when Chrome's Enhanced Protection security feature is enabled. The new suspicious site warning system builds on a similar two-stage notification approach introduced for Chrome file downloads in 2024, providing visually distinct warnings for different threat levels. Users who know a flagged website is actually safe can mark it as such to override the warning. The feature aims to improve user awareness of potential security threats while browsing. The addition represents Google's continued effort to enhance browser security by providing users with better information about website trustworthiness.
