Google Chrome, the most popular browser used by billions worldwide is getting a new feature that allows users to quickly check the trustworthiness of a website.

According to the known tipster Leopeva64 on X (formerly Twitter), Google is working on a new AI-powered feature for Chrome called “Store reviews” that will present users with a “summary of reviews from independent websites like Trust Pilot, Scam Advisor, and more.”

As you can see in the post below, the upcoming feature can be accessed from the site settings button which appears to the left of the URL in the address bar. It looks like the functionality is still under development as clicking on it opens a blank floating panel with text on the bottom that says Chrome will use AI to generate a summary of the website’s reputation from independent platforms like Trust Pilot, Scam Advisor, Google and more.

This is really handy if you are visiting an unknown or new website and want to quickly check if it is credible or trustworthy. This is comparatively faster than going through multiple review websites to get an overall reputation of a website and can help save a considerable amount of time.

Apart from the ability to check a website’s credibility, Google is also bringing a bunch of new AI powered features like AI-powered protection, which offers real-time protection against potentially dangerous websites and downloaded files.

However, the future of Chrome remains uncertain after the United States Department of Justice (DoJ) along with several other states filed a proposal to fix “Google’s unlawful monopolization”, following which the tech giant may be forced to sell Chrome within six months of the ruling.
