Questions about chrome-untrusted://

[DennisLfromGA]

I was hoping to get some explanation about what the prefix chrome-untrusted:// might mean.

I've seen questions in the Chromebook help forums and on sub-reddits mentioning it recently and just wanted to be able to alleviate any concerns about it if possible.

I saw mention of it in the links below and it sounds like it's just a way of showing a 'web app' as opposed to the 'nassh app/extension' but it's causing users to question it security-wise.

Secure Shell (stable) updated to 0.32 - Google Groups

nassh/js/crosh.js - apps/libapps - Git at Google
https://chromium.googlesource.com/apps/libapps/+/master/nassh/js/crosh.js?autodive=0%2F

I'm probably just not understanding it's implications.

Thanx,

this is coming from the browser and is changing across all systems, so kicking over to the browser group for visibility.

Now. To make it more clear. We all have been told by google if we accidentally combine keys CTRL + ALT + T. Just close the windows and don't panic. As the definition of chrome-untrusted:// does not mean that it has been detected by built-in antivirus it is a malware. Untrusted can be use for multiple things based on my theory. Chrome-untrusted:// can be

- You are not suppose to go on here

- This is part administration tool and anyone could use it without cracking causing security flaw

- If it is from an extension. Maybe trying to tell you it is not verified.
