Google is enhancing Chrome’s security features with advanced AI technology designed to protect users from online scams. The company is now utilizing Gemini Nano, its latest language model for desktop, to spot suspicious sites and defend against evolving scam tactics.
With this upgrade, users who have enabled Enhanced Protection in Chrome will receive more comprehensive safeguards against threats, including new scams that have yet to be reported. The system operates on the device to quickly analyze potentially dangerous websites and offer real-time warnings.

Chrome for Android is also receiving updates through machine learning that alert users when a site’s notifications may be spammy or deceptive. If the model flags a notification as a possible scam, users will have the option to block or review the content, and can override the warning if they believe it is a mistake.
Beyond Chrome, Google continues to use artificial intelligence across its platforms to block fraudulent websites, especially in Search. These efforts have dramatically increased scam detection rates and sharply reduced incidences of impersonation scams, safeguarding people from fraudulent customer service numbers and other threats.
