Sorry, but there's really nothing to see here right now. Our server is in maintenance mode – and our
little bot is trying to sort the error messages with its last bit of energy.
Whether it was a data leak, a power outage in the cluster, or just a grumpy bit – we don't know yet.
But what we do know is:
The data drama escalated into a server meltdown. But don't worry: We're on it.
What now?
Everything is surely running smoothly over at our colleagues from inside
digital – why not stop by!
Or you could pass the time by visiting our social media channels – for example Instagram, YouTube or TikTok. At least there are no
server problems there – promised.
Thanks for your patience. Our bot is already rebooting at full speed. 🔧
Chrome is already a powerful browser that integrates advanced safety features to protect users online. Now, Google has announced updates to Chrome for desktop and Android, which are set to receive two new major enhancements leveraging Google’s latest Gemini AI. These updates aim to better protect users from sophisticated scams and malicious or misleading web notifications.

Gemini Nano Now Powers Chrome’s Scam Detection Feature
First, Google is expanding the use of Gemini Nano on desktop through Chrome’s Enhanced Protection feature. This existing tool already employs AI and machine learning to detect risky or dangerous websites that are often sources of phishing and scams.
However, with the integration of Google’s large language model, the Enhanced Protection mode should offer an upgraded detection capability to discern tricky websites and URLs better, safeguarding users before they fall victim to scams.
Google has stated that it has already deployed Gemini Nano to Chrome to detect and block remote tech support scams. The internet search giant plans to expand this capability to Chrome for Android, although a specific timeframe was not provided.
Website Notifications in Chrome Are Labeled Safe or Not
Another significant upgrade that users can anticipate is an improved filter for notifications originating from websites they’ve subscribed to in Chrome. Google has announced that it is utilizing Gemini Nano AI to scan these notifications for potential scams, malware, and misleading content.
The AI will be able to determine if a notification linking to a website page is legitimate or not. This analysis will identify notifications containing dubious and spammy links, as well as deceptive content that doesn’t align with the headline and description used.
Once a notification is flagged as risky, Chrome will alert the user. The content of the notification will be hidden, but users will have the option to view it. An “Unsubscribe” button will also be available, allowing users to quickly remove their device from the website’s notification list, with a confirmation step after tapping the button. Additionally, an “Undo” button will be provided for notifications that have been mistakenly flagged.
These improvements are largely geared toward creating a safer browsing experience on the web, offering valuable safeguards given the increasing number of internet users and online transactions. At the same time, these are additions to the existing AI-powered safety tools, like real-time scam detection on phone calls and messages.
