Google is finally extending Chrome‘s ability to show you saved passwords to its Android platform. The feature had been previously available on the desktop variant of the browser. The latest Chrome 62 for Android has been officially rolled out. The Chrome app will prompt you to install the latest update. In case you do not receive the prompt, you can manually head to app settings and check for the new version.

Similar to how the feature works on desktop, the mobile app will also let you view your saved passwords. Whenever you log in or sign up to a website through Chrome, the browser asks you if you would like it to remember the credentials. On desktop, you can head to passwords.google.com, and view all the websites you have your accounts on and check their passwords.

However, this ability has not been available to mobile users of Chrome prior to this week. Now, on your Android device, you can launch Chrome and head to settings under the menu section, and tap on save passwords. Under this section, you will find all the websites associated with your saved passwords which you can check out by tapping on them, XDA Developers reports. It is to be noted that the saved passwords will be visible only when the ‘save password’ option enabled.

Google Chrome is the most popular web browser across the globe. But with it comes the grave dangers of web loopholes, which brings harmful software to your devices. In the past few months, Google has been working on making Chrome a safer place to browse, and it has lately introduced three new changes.

To start with, Google has been monitoring extensions installed on the browser. Google has its own web store where you can add various extensions like AdBlock, Grammarly, Buffer, among others. While these extensions are pretty helpful, they do make the web browser heavy, and might also attract unwanted software. One such case occurred last week when a fake AdBlock Plus extension appeared on Chrome web store. It went unnoticed by Google leading to over 37,000 downloads by Chrome users.

Google will now see if any extensions installed alter settings without alerting you. If Chrome detects any such activity then it will automatically restore the browser to your modified settings. If this happens you will see a prompt on Chrome stating the changed settings, and you can opt to restore or cancel. 

Chrome Cleanup has been updated with a new redesign for Windows users. This feature isn’t available for Mac and Linux users. Chrome Cleanup will detect malicious or unwanted software added while downloading any kind of content on Chrome. You will get a prompt to remove unwanted software whenever detected, and have the option to accept or decline. You may also be asked to restart your computer after Chrome removes the unwanted software.

Google says that for the new Chrome Cleanup, it has worked with IT security company ESET. As compared to the previous version, Chrome can now “detect and remove more unwanted software than ever before”. Google however notes that Chrome Cleanup isn’t a general-purpose antivirus, and “only removes software that doesn’t comply with our unwanted software policy”. You would still need an additional anti-virus software for better safety against malicious software.

Google Chrome’s extensions are plentiful and come pretty handy for various tasks carried out while browsing. One of the most nifty extensions is Adblock which keeps away the pesky annoying ads available on every possible website. It has now been discovered that  a fake Adblock Plus extension which has been downloaded by 37,000 people.

This fake extension was first spotted by SwiftOnSecurity that posted about the discoveries on Twitter. SwiftOneSecurity says that the fake Adblock Plus extension was created “by a fraudulent developer who clones popular name and spams keywords”. In the images shared of the fake AdBlock Plus, it is noticeable how convincing the extension looks with the same image and name and user reviews as well. Google has now deleted the fake extension from its Chrome web store. It isn’t clear what damages have incurred with this fake extension. One review shared on the web store has a user saying that he started getting invasive ads opening on new tabs.

If you’ve recently downloaded Adblock Plus then you can check to see if it’s genuine or not. Adblock Plus in a blog post has detailed steps on doing so. Open Chrome > More Tools > Extensions. Open Adblock Plus and click on Details which will open Chrome Web Store. If the extension reads “offered by adblockplus.org” then it’s the genuine one. Also, on the web store, the fake extension is categorized as app and not as an extension. 

SwiftOnSecurity has further updated that two more fake Adblock Plus extensions have been added on the web store. You will notice how the fake extensions have Block written with an uppercase B when the original extension uses a lowercase b. According to a Reddit thread, there was a fake Adblock Plus extension on Chrome two years which reportedly garnered over a quarter of a million downloads.
