Chrome 79 Released for Windows, Mac, Linux, Chrome OS, Android, and iOS

Chrome 79 was just released and it now has real-time phishing protection.

Google has used a 30-minute refresh on the phishing detection, and that hasn't been fast enough to catch the phishers switching domains.

These new protections can inspect the URLs of pages visited with Safe Browsing’s servers in real time. When you visit a website, Chrome checks it against a list stored on your computer of thousands of popular websites that are known to be safe. If the website is not on the safe-list, Chrome checks the URL with Google (after dropping any username or password embedded in the URL) to find out if you're visiting a dangerous site. Our analysis has shown that this results in a 30% increase in protections by warning users on malicious sites that are brand new.

This is rolling out to users that have chosen the "make searches and browsing better" option in Chrome.

With this latest release, we’re expanding this protection to everyone signed in to Chrome, even if you have not enabled Sync. In addition, this feature will now work for all the passwords you have stored in Chrome’s password manager.

There's a catch: It's only for users logged in.
