Details
Google provides the Safe Browsing service. It shows a warning page when users navigate to sites that are flagged as potentially malicious.
Disabled (0): Users can choose to proceed to the flagged site after the warning appears.
The recommended state for this setting is: Enabled (1)
Rationale:
Malicious web pages are widely spread in the internet and pose the most significant threat to the user today. Users shall be prevented from navigating to potentially malicious web content.
Impact:
Enabling this setting prevents users from proceeding anyway from the warning page to the malicious site. In some cases legitimate sites could be blocked and users would be prevented from accessing.
Solution
To establish the recommended configuration via Group Policy, set the following UI path to Enabled:
