3 Feb
Summary
- New safety feature highlights dangerous websites in Google searches.
- Alerts warn users about potential malware and data breaches.
- Feature proactively informs users about website risks before clicking.
Surfshark has enhanced its browser extension with new features designed to improve online safety. These updates introduce alerts for potentially dangerous websites and data breach notifications directly within Google search results.
This proactive approach informs users about risks associated with links before they are clicked. The feature leverages known repositories of malware and phishing sites to flag potentially harmful content. Surfshark's Head of Product, Gabriele Sinkeviciute, stated that protecting users from malicious search engine links is critical.
Since 2022, Surfshark has added over 25,000 websites to its database flagged as potentially harmful. The new solution aims to help users avoid compromised accounts, device infections, or stolen credentials. The feature is accessible via Surfshark's browser extension and functions specifically with Google Search.
