Web pages that may be unsafe. Other features inherited from the previous version include the ability to check spelling in, and automatically fill out, Web forms.

The company has also introduced a new feature called Google Related Links. This uses Google's search technology to automatically bring 'fresh, dynamic and interesting content links' to a website. Webmasters simply add some supplied code to their pages and the links are generated based on the content of the website.

The service is not related to AdSense programme, where websites can earn money by carrying advertising supplied by Google. Websites will not get paid for carrying related links.

'We hope that with this product, you can make your site even more useful to your visitors by providing them with links to information they are interested in,' Google said.
