Safe Browsing is a protective service used by Google in Google Chrome but also in third-party browsers such as Firefox or Safari that checks visited web pages against a database of malicious Internet sites. This is done by comparing hash values against each other to improve privacy.
The browser displays a warning page if a hit is recorded to inform the user about the potentially malicious website.
Google Safe Browsing is a blacklist service provided by Google that provides lists of URLs for web resources that contain malware or phishing content. The Google Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Vivaldi, and GNOME Web browsers use the lists from the Google Safe Browsing service for checking pages against potential threats. Google also provides a public API for the service. Apr 17, 2018 Today, we’re announcing that Google Play Protect is bringing Safe Browsing to WebView by default, starting in April 2018 with the release of WebView 66. Developers of Android apps using WebView no longer have to make any changes to benefit from this protection. Safe Browsing in WebView has been available since Android 8.0 (API level 26), using the same underlying technology as Chrome on Android.
Depending on the implementation, it may block users from visiting the page altogether, or provide users with an override that allows them to bypass the security warning.
The introduction of Safe Browsing on Android, as part of Google Play Services, allows apps that run on Android devices to make use of the Safe Browsing API.
The first application to do that is Google's own browser Chrome. Starting with Chrome 46 for Android, Safe Browsing is enabled by default.
To verify that, select Menu > Settings > Privacy, and look for the Safe Browsing option on the page. If you see it there, Safe Browsing is integrated in the version of Chrome.

You can disable the feature there as well if you don't require it by tapping on the checkmark next to it.
While it can be useful at times , it is know for false positives as well making it harder to reach sites that you want to access (especially if you know that the sites you are visiting are clean).
According to Google's announcement on the official Google Security blog, implementation of Safe Browsing for mobile devices was more of a challenge than on the desktop. The main reason for that is because data size matters more on mobiles than on the desktop and the company had to make sure that Safe Browsing worked in all situations, even in those were the mobile data speed is slow or unreliable.
Safe Browsing is enabled by default in all versions of the Chrome web browser for the desktop and on Android.
