In order for any extension to fall under the list of extensions trusted by Enhanced Safe Browsing, developers will be required to follow the Chrome Web Store Developer Program Policies and for new developers, it is likely to take at least a few months.
Google says that if users try to install an extension that is not part of the list of extensions trusted by Enhanced Safe Browsing, it will inform them via a dialog box. Now, as part of this feature, Google will offer additional protection when users install a new extension from the Chrome Web Store. Safer Chrome extensions Back in 2020, Google had rolled out Enhanced Safe Browsing security feature, the purpose of which was to proactively check whether pages and downloads are dangerous. With the rollout of Chrome 91 version, the web browser will offer new features to help Enhanced Safe Browsing users better choose their extensions along with offering additional protections against downloading malicious files on the web. New users on Firefox will now see the Recommended badge on the Add-on listing page.Īnd every user gets to see this when opening the Add-ons page in their Firefox:ĭownThemAll! 4.1 DownThemAll! for Chrome Now available for Opera DownThemAll! 4 – The WebExtension Forth Beta – Now with some translations Beta The Third 2nd WebExtension Beta DownThemAll! 4.0.Internet search giant Google has announced that it is adding new ways to make Chrome safer for its users. It also means that future updates will be thoroughly reviewed by mozilla as well before they get published.Įxisting users do not have to do anything, as updates are automatic. Recommended means that the mozilla team did a thorough review of DownThemAll!, both in code and basic functionality, and found no issues that would put users at risk, and that the extension does not contain any nasty surprises like undisclosed user tracking either (DownThemAll! does not include any tracking, of course, but now you got it confirmed by mozilla). The old DownThemAll! (up to version 3.0) was a long term recommended add-on, too, and I am happy that the WebExtension now is as well. Thanks to Scott DeVaney, who first reached out to me, and “zephyr” from the mozilla Add-ons Editors team and maybe others, who reviewed the extension, DownThemAll! is now listed as a Recommended Firefox extension.
