New designs for interstitial warning pages for malware and phishing sites detected by Google Safe Browsing are simpler.

As announced by Google engineer and "usable security researcher" Adrienne Porter Felt on Twitter, the newest designs for malware and phishing site warnings from Google Chrome have gone out on the Canary and Dev channels.

Google Safe Browsing is a service that maintains blacklists of URLs of sits that contain phishing and malware. It provides an API for other software to use, and is used by both Apple Safari and Mozilla Firefox. Microsoft uses their own SmartScreen service.

When Chrome encounters a site which Safe Browsing says is malicious, it raises an interstitial warning page like those below. Firefox and Safari have their own warning pages. The new Chrome warning pages are only on the Dev and Canary distributions, not the Beta or Stable.

This will be the new malware warning page:

The new designs are simpler, but perhaps the absence of the cartoon image is intended to induce the user to take the warning more seriously.

For people who don't want to use Chrome you can get the Google Safe Browsing results through Webutation, which is both a website and an extension.

Google Malware Test Page (for Chrome Canary and Dev(?) )

If URL doesn't work, remember to enter '/' after malware.

As far as I know this is a part of the Google branding only available on Google Chrome.
Possibly could be added to future Chromium clones, right now is only available on Canary and Dev channels of Google Chrome.

Mozilla based browser also partner with Google Safe browsing but their notifications are different.
I'm not sure about Opera they used to use their own malware and phishing protection.

Enjoy!!
