Google keeps on experimenting with new features to enhance the overall user experience and it is doing it again. While browsing it is very important to know which websites are trustworthy and which ones are not. As per a renowned tipster who goes by the username Leopeva65 on X, the tech giant is working on a new AI-powered feature for Chrome known as 'Store reviews'. This feature will present users with a “summary of reviews from independent websites like Trust Pilot, Scam Advisor, and more.”

As shown in the post below, the upcoming feature can be accessed via the site settings button located to the left of the URL in the address bar. Currently under development, the feature opens a blank floating panel with a note at the bottom indicating that Chrome will use AI to summarize the website’s reputation. This summary will be drawn from independent platforms such as Trustpilot, Scam Advisor, Google, and others.

This feature is particularly useful when visiting unfamiliar or new websites, offering a quick way to assess their credibility and trustworthiness. By consolidating information from various review platforms into one concise summary, it streamlines the process and saves users the time of manually checking multiple sources.

Other New AI-Powered Features

In addition to introducing tools for assessing a website's credibility, Google is rolling out several AI-driven features, including enhanced security measures. One such feature, AI-powered protection, provides real-time safeguards against potentially harmful websites and downloaded files, bolstering user safety online.

Meanwhile, the future of Chrome faces uncertainty as the United States Department of Justice (DoJ), along with multiple states, has filed a proposal addressing what they allege to be Google’s "unlawful monopolization." If the ruling goes against Google, the company might be compelled to divest Chrome within six months, marking a significant shift in the browser's ownership.
