    Irritating. I’m trying to extricate myself from Google entirely, but in the meantime I’ve used uBlock Origin to block the notification.

    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.

      Of course they do… Most organizations in the US are using Gmail at this point. I don’t even know a single person in my life that doesn’t.

        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.

          Virtually every company public and private in the US use Gmail or Outlook. Interesting that your circle is using alternatives but you’re still very much an outlier. Like to an extreme that’s very surprising to hear. For personal use nearly 90%+ of global market share splits between Gmail and Apple with nearly 60% of email in the US being Gmail based and Apple holding most of the rest.
