Windows Defender extension for google chrome? it is official?

Hello, I just learned that MS did a small extension for google chrome browser, added security same as windows defender, is this official? or its a fake extension/plugin? I'm using firefox since years but if its official I can actually start using chrome
again because security is first in my book

This is the chrome extension store link of the extension I'm talking about

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/windows-defender-browser/bkbeeeffjjeopflfhgeknacdieedcoml

can I use it? it says real time protection so I think its good yes? I already have a anti-virus package, I just wondering if I get this on chrome, will I be protected against malware/suspicious websites? Extension works like the SmartScreen on Internet
Explorer? If yes, I can %100 download this since smartscreen was the best thing ever happened to the IE.

Hi
aka72twn,

The background process "Windows Defender Application Guard" is normal and it's very important to
Microsoft Edge.

It's not only for Windows 10 Enterprise, but rather applies in
Windows 10 Pro build 1803. When you browse a website, this process will highly consume CPU usage to activate a fundamental security that prevents any attacks while you are up in the Internet.
