Google has taken the browsing security to next level. They announced launch of two new features to help protect users from deceptive websites.

The Suspicious Site Reporter Extension will improve security for Chrome users by allowing you to report suspicious sites to Google Safe Browsing.

Google has also added the ability to track down deceptive sites on Chrome 75. It will display a warning to the user, if he is visiting a wrong/forged URL. This feature is useful when scammers try to trick users by simply replacing single or multiple characters of a URL. For example, it’s easy to confuse “go0gle.com” with “google.com”.

It's working. Open chrome --> type chrome://flags --> Search for Android Chrome UI dark mode --> Enable it. Relaunch chrome. After that close chrome and enable night mode from system settings (or from chrome settings --> themes) . You'll see Chrome night mode.
