Chrome for Android is gaining the ability to detect malicious web notifications.
- Google is launching a new security feature for Chrome on Android.
- The feature is designed for users who enable notifications on websites.
- This feature uses AI to warn you if a website notification is malicious, spammy, or misleading.
You may not notice it, but Google’s browser is fitted with all kinds of security and privacy features to protect you while you jump from website to website. Some examples include Safety Check, Enhanced Protection Mode, Password Manager, and so on. Now the company is rolling out a new security feature on Chrome for Android.
When you use Chrome, some websites will ask if you’re interested in enabling notifications. This allows web apps to act more like native apps on your device. Website notifications can be helpful if you want to be alerted to something, like a newly published story. However, sketchy websites can also misuse this functionality to send you malicious, spammy, or misleading notifications.
