An amber ! points you to the original
Some searches include a web address that borrows a brand’s name, like paypa1.com or paypal-login.com.
When that happens, the icon shows an amber ! and the popup names the brand’s official site, one click away.
You can keep your search too: the results load exactly as they would without Secured Web.

Questions
Which brands does Secured Web know?
It comes with a list of popular brands and services and their official sites, such as PayPal, Netflix, Amazon, Microsoft, Facebook, LinkedIn, FedEx and the IRS.
Why is there no check when I search “apple pie”?
Some brand names are everyday words. For those brands, add a word like login, account or app, for example “apple id login” or “amazon account”.
Does it change my search results?
No. Your results load as usual and nothing is added to the page. The only thing you see is the badge on the toolbar icon.
When does the badge go away?
When you search for something that isn’t on the list, leave the results page, or close the tab.
How do I remove Secured Web?
Right-click the icon and choose “Uninstall from Chrome”, or follow the steps on our uninstall page.
