  "account": "Google Chrome has introduced three new features in its Enhanced Safe Browsing Protection to enhance user safety from web scams. The company has been rolling out various tools to identify and counter online threats for over half a decade. Now, Chrome will share both the webpages users visit and their clipboard content with Google servers. This move aims to protect users from social engineering scams, such as ClickFix, by sharing information with Google’s servers. Google Chrome now employs a two-tiered approach to site safety warnings, displaying either a pop-up for suspicious websites or a full-screen warning for dangerous sites. When a user visits a website displaying known deceptive patterns, Chrome will now show a new suspicious website pop-up, alerting the user that the site might not be safe.",
