Google is urging users to activate its Enhanced Safe Browsing feature via numerous alerts in Gmail that keep coming back, even after you acknowledge them.
Enhanced Safe Browsing was released in 2007 as an upgrade to Google's standard Safe Browsing feature that warns users when they visit known phishing and malware sites.
That's gotta be a typo. Gmail itself came out in 2004, and I doubt that "Safe Browsing" and then "Enhanced Safe Browsing" both came out in the first three years.
I'm guessing it's supposed to be 2017?
Regardless of when it came out, the nagging prompts sure are annoying.
I don't use Gmail, my wife don't use Gmail, I can't think of any friends that use Gmail. People in my circle don't see value in trading privacy for a "free" email account. I use fastmail, been very pleased.
Every single person I know uses gmail here where I live. I'm the local IT guy here in my small village in the UK and I've not come across anyone NOT using gmail
