You may have encountered social engineering in a deceptive download button, or an image ad that falsely claims your system is out of date. Today, we’re expanding Safe Browsing protection to protect you from such deceptive embedded content, like social engineering ads.

In some regards this is playing catch up, but very glad to see this added to Chrome. All other browsers, find those "blockers" and "script checkers" which accomplish much the same, and have done so for a few years.

OR, kill all third party content at the browser level (this has been around for a decade or so) which will stop most of these things in their tracks.
