Chrome adds three new Enhanced Protection features
Google added three features to Chrome's Enhanced Protection mode: a second tier of suspicious-site warnings, server-side Gemini scam detection, and clipboard checks for ClickFix scams. All three work only when Enhanced Protection is enabled.
- New warning tier flags suspicious sites without the full red blocking page
- Scam detection moved from on-device Gemini Nano to a larger server-side Gemini model
- ClickFix protection sends copied commands to Safe Browsing servers for checks
- Google says over 1 billion users have Enhanced Protection enabled
