    It is not available yet, as they just do not have the "blocklist/blacklist (bad sites)" function like the way Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer has.

    Hi
    according to the following post, S&D supports every common browser.
    http://www.safer-networking.org/en/faq/48.html
    Chrome is included in this list, but Safari is left out!
    Does S&D support the latter?

    You'll need PepiMK to comment further on this, as I do not know what the Immunization officially supports (I don't use even half those browsers listed).

    Even if there is a blacklist option in Google Chrome, I can't seem to find it.

    Hello,

    I am sorry, but Chrome is only being supported in scanning and fixing at the moment.
    It is a very new browser and chrome itself does not offer any interface for immunizing yet.

    Best regards

    Chrome and Safari use the SafeBrowsing(Bloom) databases, however like themes, I don't think that it is documented for external modification yet.

    I am a new forum member. I just joined to find out if I was doing something wrong when I run Spybot since it is only scanning Firefox and IE. If this is true that scanning is not available "yet" for Chrome, should I assume it never will be.I mean this post was in 2008. I would think if they were going to include Chrome, it would be by now, right? Thanks

    Maybe they just never got a chance to do the research to learn the specifications of how Chrome implements this feature. Fortunately, Chromium is open-source, so they certainly have access to that information (in fact, everybody does, and I doubt that they would be averse to getting a nudge from someone who knows—start with the Phishing and Malware Protection feature).
