Chrome adds Gemini-powered scam detection and new suspicious-site warnings
Why it matters for readers: Explains a new way your browser warns you about scams and how it tries to limit what page data is sent to Google.
- Chrome will use a server-side Gemini model for scam detection instead of only an on-device model for Enhanced Protection users.1
- The model analyzes page signals like brand, intent and likelihood of being a scam, and Safe Browsing combines this with domain reputation and other signals.1
- Chrome adds a new "suspicious site" warning for pages showing deceptive patterns that don't meet the threshold for full-page red warnings.1
- The update warns users when they copy suspicious commands from ClickFix attacks and aims to expand protective warnings while minimizing data sent to servers.1
