Google’s Safe Browsing service now protects 1 billion Chrome, Firefox, and Safari users from malware and phishing
Tuesday, 25 June 2013
Google today announced a big milestone for its Safe Browsing service: 1 billion users now protected from malware and phishing sites. Just over a year ago, the figure was at 600 million users, meaning about 400 million users were added in just 12 months.
For those who don’t know, Google Safe Browsing is a service that provides lists of URLs that contain malware or phishing content to Chrome, Firefox, and Safari browsers, as well as to Internet Service Providers (ISPs). The service can also be accessed via the public API or directly by manually changing this URL to check whichever site you want.
