Sites you visit (and their fraud prevention partners) can help prevent fraud by sharing small amounts of info, for example to verify you aren't a bot or to validate transactions
As you keep browsing, sites can check with Chrome and verify with a previous site you visited that you're likely a real person
Browsing is faster because a site is less likely to ask you to verify you're a real person
This setting works without identifying you or allowing sites to see your browsing history, though sites can share a small amount of info as part of the verification
