Enhanced Safe Browsing was first introduced back in 2019 in the Chrome browser to provide real-time protection against phishing. Here's how it worked: It would compare URLs of sites you visit against a stored list that is downloaded every 30 minutes. This feature was eventually extended to include warnings against malicious Chrome extensions. It also incorporated machine learning models to improve its defense against phishing attacks.Also: Best secure browsers to protect your privacy onlineThe official description of Enhanced Safe Browsing is:"To help protect your account and data, Enhanced Safe Browsing for your account checks for risks: URLs, downloads, browser extensions, system information, and small sample of pages."One thing to keep in mind is that, although Enhanced Safe Browsing should be considered a must-use, it is not going to block all phishing attacks. That means you'll still have to be vigilant about not clicking suspicious links. A good rule of thumb is that if a link looks even remotely suspect (or was sent by someone you don't know), do not click it.Also: Phishing attacks are easy for criminals.

If the link in the popup matches the displayed link in the email, then you know it is what it purports to be. If the popup link doesn't match the link in the email, it's most likely a phishing attempt.
