And it is very safe.

So, where is the Security check button? The easiest way to find it is to type in the address bar and press Enter:

Alternatively, you can access Definitions and click Security check on the left side.
Google Chrome security check
The Security check button is right here. Clicking on it does four things:
- Checks for Chrome updates
- Checks if any of your stored passwords have been compromised
- Checks whether Safe Browsing is enabled and provides a link to adjust these settings
- Checks for harmful extensions (which is not a bad idea, given the latest disaster with The Great Suspender)
Run Google Chrome security check
If you want more protection, you can enable Increases protection under Safe browsing, and that will give you a lot more security, but it involves consenting that your browsing data is sent to Google.
Performing a Security check it is fast and offers more peace of mind.
