Windows Defender add-on for Chrome as extra protection

Windows Defender add-on for Chrome as extra protection

Chrome has built-in protection against malicious sites, but Microsoft Edge has protection (SmartScreen) which, according to tests, is better. As users do not switch to Edge, and after so much effort that Microsoft has invested, they decided to make an add-on for Chrome.

That add-on, as MS says, provides excellent protection that Defender possesses, which is also built into the Edge. The protection mechanism works on the principle of checking links in real-time and compares with the dynamic database of suspicious links.

Windows Defender add-on for Chrome as extra protection

The question "is their protection better than competing web browsers?" Was answered in the affirmative by the company "NSS Labs" with its tests.

In 2017, the company tested the protections offered by Google in Chrome and Mozilla in Firefox against this Defender mechanism used by Edge.

The results were: Defender blocked 99% of threats, Chrome slightly less - 87%, and Firefox only 70%. Despite these poor results for Firefox, Microsoft has created an add-on for Chrome only.

If you want extra protection in your Chrome web browser, then you can consider this add-on. If you install the add-on, you will have both the protection offered by Chrome and the protection offered by Defender.

Install the Defender plugin from the Chrome Web Store:
