Google just announced an upgrade to Chrome’s Enhanced Protection feature. On desktop, the browser now uses Gemini Nano to protect users against remote tech support scams. According to Google, the on-device large language model allows Chrome to protect people against scams the company hasn’t seen before.

A new version of Chrome coming this month will use Gemini Nano AI to help the browser stop scams that usually appear as annoying pop-ups.

Google has begun integrating Gemini Nano, its on-device large language model (LLM), into the latest version of the Chrome browser to combat online spam, scams and phishing campaigns.
