Google Chrome adds new security protections to warn you of bad extensions

Chrome is helping protect against malicious extensions and downloads. What you need to know Google is introducing new protections in the Chrome browser for downloads and extensions. Chrome will now warn users if an extension is not trusted by Enhanced Safe Browsing. Users will have the ability to perform an enhanced check on a downloaded file if it's deemed potentially unsafe. Google is rolling out a couple of improvements to Enhanced Safe Browsing on Chrome to help keep dangerous extensions and files from being downloaded and installed. You can already easily manage all of your extensions in Chrome from a Chromebook . Now, when you attempt to install a new extension from the Chrome Web Store, a new dialogue will appear to warn you if the extension is not listed as trusted by Enhanced Safe Browsing.

Google wants to use Chrome to suck you into virtual reality

 Google says it's now time to marry two computing realms: the web and virtual reality. Its latest version of the Chrome browser includes a technology called WebVR, which lets programmers create websites that present the computer-generated 3D worlds of virtual reality. If you're into VR, you might appreciate the promise WebVR holds for expanding what you can do with a device like a Google Daydream View or a Facebook Oculus Rift VR headset . That's because, in principle at least, WebVR makes it easier for developers to create a single VR experience that'll work across many VR headsets instead of having to create a separate version for each device. It's an extension of how a single website can span your laptop, Android phone or iPad tablet.
