With the arrival of Windows 10, one of the novelties that many users may go unnoticed is the operation of Windows Defender, the antivirus integrated in the latest version of Windows currently available on the market. In fact, some security experts claim that it is more than enough to protect our computer from any threat.
Since its launch, there have been many antivirus companies that have tried to take Microsoft to the courts of the European Union for unfair competition, something that they have not achieved at the moment and it seems that they will achieve in the future. Meanwhile, the Redmond-based company just announced an extension for the Windows Defender Chrome browser.
Windows Defender protects our equipment against any threat that may try to access our computer, but when browsing the Internet, the effects of Windows Defender are only found if we try to download a file that is infected by any type of virus, malware, spyware or others.
But thanks to the new Windows Defender extension for Chrome, when browsing the Internet with the Chrome browser, we will be protected at all times against any website that tries to impersonate another, known as phishing, in addition to protecting us against any malware or script that wants to infect or affect our computer.
This extension, which is available for your download completely free, coincides with the launch of a new update for Google Chrome, an update that allows us to download Chrome passwords to a file in .csv format, both from our desktop version and from our mobile device.
This movement seems to indicate that in Microsoft have finally thrown in the towel and they are not going to continue trying to fight against the almighty Google Chrome with Microsoft Edge, a shame since the latest versions of Microsoft's browser, Edgem, have considerably improved both the operation and the number of options that it offers us.
