Chrome’s New Feature Warns Users About Auto-Removal of Malicious Extensions

In the upcoming version of Chrome, Google will add a new feature to alert users when an extension has been removed from the Chrome Web Store.

It will also show a warning when users attempt to download high-risk files while on an insecure connection.

The feature, set for release alongside Chrome 117, allows users to be notified when an add-on has been unpublished by a developer, taken down for violating Chrome’s store policy, or marked as malware.

Google also said it will show a notice starting in mid-September 2023

when users attempting to download large-risk file types using insecure connections.

Users can enable HTTPS-First Mode by enabling Always use secure connections in Chrome security settings (chrome://settings/security) .
