The feature, which Google says hides your visited URLs, is now available on the default Standard mode of Safe Browsing on Chrome.
For years, Chrome’s Safe Browsing feature has automatically added potentially unsafe URLs to a list Google stores on your device.
Now, Google says it will do a real-time check for sites that it couldn’t find in its database and will then send an encrypted version of the URLs to Fastly’s independently operated privacy server.
Afterward, it’ll send it to Safe Browsing’s server-side database via a TLS connection that mixes your request with those sent by other Chrome users.
As a result, throughout the process, Google claims your browsing activity remains private; no single party will be able to see both your IP address and the URL’s hash prefixes.
The new real-time checking feature for Standard mode is currently available on Chrome for desktop and iOS and will roll out to Android later this month.
