Local web pages in the personal computer of users could be a main place for attack through internet. Mailing websites like gmail will not be able to do something which will prevent internet attack from directly affecting user’s desktop by sending downloadable pages to the local machine. The security policy implemented by Google chrome has various security features which prevent the attacks that can happen through the downloadable pages. This will help users to be safe from attacks through pages downloaded with Chrome and opened with other browsers.

Chrome will use the mark of the web technique to mark a website so that when other browsers like Internet Explorer sees the page, will consider the page as unknown site.

If the user has a default browser, pages downloaded by Google chrome will be launched using the same default browser. This page will be allowed to view like any other web page, by bypassing the security protection that is integrated in the site. This will help an attack to be successful as well. This case is seen in many browsers, but chrome has successfully implemented their security policy 101. Chrome has provided a facility, wherein the browser will ask for confirmation before downloading the pages.
