Chrome's AI agent feature is coming soon, and this time Google has put real effort into security.

[Crypto World] Chrome is about to launch an AI agent feature, but Google is being pretty cautious this time—after all, letting AI operate your browser for you could go wrong if you’re not careful.

They’ve set up several layers of protection: first, they’re using a Gemini-based reviewer to vet what the AI is about to do, which is basically a “behavior prediction system” for the AI. Then, they restrict the range of websites accessible via the proxy source, so the AI can’t freely roam every site. There’s also an observer model specifically monitoring URLs to prevent it from jumping to strange places.

Most importantly, when it comes to sensitive operations—like asking the AI to access online banking or place an order—Chrome will pop up a window requiring you to confirm it yourself. And for things like passwords, the AI model can’t even touch them; they’re physically isolated.

Honestly, this combo seems pretty solid. In the Web3 era, everyone is getting more sensitive about data sovereignty, and if a gateway-level app like a browser isn’t secure, trust can collapse faster than anything. Now it’s just a matter of whether the actual results can live up to the promises.
