When Enhanced Safe Browsing is turned on, it checks for risky URLs, downloads, browser extensions, system information, and a small sample of pages.

This feature allows users to see real-time suspicious warning signs when they try to add a malware extension or download any third-party experience, which can be a lifesaver when it comes to protecting your browsing history.
