    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.

    Each Google’s new browser "Chrome" installation contains a unique ID that allowing identifying its user. This has raised a big wave of people that mistrust the new browser.

    I wouldn’t install it either, I would unzip it.

    A big wave? That’s news to me, and I am a frequent tester/debugger.

    What about Chromium? Is that bad too? They are open-source, so if you don’t trust it, take a look at the source and/or build it yourself.
