Google rolls out new AI-powered security features to Chrome to curb online fraud

Google is rolling out server-side Gemini AI in Chrome to detect complex online fraud such as fake antivirus and browser update scams, alongside new warnings for legacy HTTP sites and security patches in Chrome version 156.0.8078.47/.48 for Windows and Mac and 156.0.8078.47 for Linux. Chrome will alert users before they proceed to insecure HTTP sites, with a two-week snooze duration for the warning, and the new patches fix browser vulnerabilities that could allow hackers to steal personal information, with bug details restricted until updates are widely installed. The features follow Google's 2025 introduction of on-device Gemini AI integration in Chrome.
