Android fans are being warned about a sneaky ploy cyber criminals could use to fool those using the Google Chrome browser.
Android is one of the most used pieces of software in the world, with over two billions devices running the Google mobile OS each and every month.
One of the search engine giant’s other household names, Google Chrome, is also used by a huge amount of people.
Google Chrome is the world’s most popular browser, with recent NetMarketShare stats giving it a staggering 67.88 per cent chunk of the browser marketplace.
And users of both pieces of Google software need to be aware of a sneaky ploy that cybercriminals could use.
Google Chrome for Android has a feature which hides the URL bar after a page has been loaded.
This helps expand the amount of screen space available and shows more content at once from the web page in question.
