Google Chrome is testing new AI features to help users stay safe while browsing the web. These tools aim to protect users from scams and make it easier to check if websites are trustworthy.
One new feature is called “Store Reviews.” It uses AI to create summaries of reviews from trusted sites like Trustpilot and ScamAdvisor. These summaries will appear when users click the lock or “i” icon next to a website’s URL. This allows users to quickly check a store’s reputation without visiting multiple review sites.
Another feature being tested is a scam detection tool. It uses AI to analyze web pages and figure out if they are trying to scam users. This tool checks if a page matches its intended purpose or brand. The best part is that it works on the user’s device, so no personal data is sent to the cloud.
This scam detection feature is available in Chrome Canary, an experimental version of the browser. Users need to manually enable it through the flags menu.
These features are part of a trend in tech to use AI to improve online security. Microsoft has also added AI tools to its Edge browser to detect scams.
With these AI tools, Google hopes to make Chrome safer and protect users from online threats. More AI features like these may come in the future to keep users safe.
