Google will now warn you before you load sites with deceptive ads or buttons

Google has announced that it is taking a step forward in protecting web users from deceptive embedded ads or buttons on websites with Safe Browsing. With the change, Google's Safe Browsing will start looking out for embedded content that tries to do the following:

  • Pretend to act, or look and feel, like a trusted entity — like your own device or browser, or the website itself.
  • Try to trick you into doing something you'd only do for a trusted entity — like sharing a password or calling tech support.
