Google emphasizes in their official release that these alerts are intended to protect you against hazardous websites, sometimes known as &#8216;phishing&#8217; or &#8216; malware&#8217; sites. Cybercriminals with evil intentions create these harmful websites, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/tech\/24474320\/google-chrome-android-warning-safe-sites-dangerous\/\">The Sun<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These fraudulent websites may appear to be reputable platforms providing important services.
