Google’s safe browsing: are you up for it?

If you are a bit paranoid about your browsing security, you might want to try Google’s new feature: the safe browsing. Safe browsing allows Google to screen first the website before the page downloads, thus minimizing brute website attacks and other hacking and malware troubles. All you have to do is to put “http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=” on the address bar and affix the intended website you wish to visit after equal sign. This is in fact a bit of a hassle since you need to do this every time you are to visit a website. If you don’t want to undergo this process, you might want to shift to Yahoo!. They have partnered with McAfee to provide internet browsers secure browsing.
