August 07, 2025
Online safety should be one of the biggest concerns each of us has today. Although Google’s Chrome browser isn’tthe absolute safest, Google does deserve credit for taking Google Chrome safety very seriously, and a new update for the browser proves this in spades.
Google Chrome M83 will introduce several new privacy and security features, the largest of which is a new Safety Check tool. The Google Chrome Safety Check feature is easy to use, simple to understand, and gives users a way to get an overall look at their safety status in Chrome.
When the new M83 build lands, you’ll be able to perform a Safety Check right in Settings. Doing so will give you a quick readout of how things stand. Check it out below:
Obviously, this is a very macro look at your overall Google Chrome safety. But Chrome will also have a lot more ways to dig deep and ensure your browsing is as safe as it can be without switching to another system. Check out the summary below.

As a final note, though, keep in mind that all the features described above are forthe desktop version of Chrome only. Some or all of them might make it tothe mobile versionat some point, but not quite yet.
