New safety features in Chrome for more protection

On Desktop, Safety Check will continue to notify you if you have any Chrome extensions installed that may pose a security risk to you, then bring you to the extensions page and show a summary panel with quick controls to remove them.

As always, Safety Check will continue to help you ensure you have the latest security patches and check your passwords for potential security risks. It also provides the option to enable Google Safe Browsing protections, allowing you to choose the level of protection you prefer.

We're making it even easier to opt out of unwanted website notifications. On Pixel devices, and coming soon to more Android devices, you'll be able to simply tap the "Unsubscribe" button directly on the notifications drawer to stop receiving notifications from that site. This feature has already resulted in a 30 percent reduction in notification volume on supported Pixel devices, and we're looking forward to bringing it to the broader ecosystem.
