Bluesky updated its slim verification systemDomains remain criticalIt’s also adding Mentions Bluesky’s soaring popularity as the social media platform of the moment has been somewhat hamstrung by frustrating verification problems. Simply put, there’s no official verification system in place, at least not the traditional Blue Check you can find on Instagram, Threads, X, and TikTok. But now the distributed platform has made one relatively minor change that could have a big impact on protecting everyone’s names from handle squatters. In a relatively small update (1.96) released on Thursday, December 19, Bluesky announced that if you change your Bluesky handle to a domain name, the original handle, which might also feature your full name, will be reserved for you. You don’t have to use it, but the old handle will never expire and, therefore, never fall into someone else’s hands. It’s the equivalent of forever ownership of site domains, which doesn’t exist. If you stop paying for your […]

Google Chrome is testing a new AI-powered scam detection featureIt seemingly uses an on-device Large Language Model (LLM) to maintain user privacyAI-driven safety tools, including scam detection, help to fight the rise of AI-powered threats online The world’s most popular browser, Google Chrome, is experimenting with a new AI-powered tool designed to help you avoid online scams. The feature is currently being tested and apparently uses AI tech, specifically a Large Language Model (LLM) on the device, to analyze web pages and determine if they seem suspicious or scam-related. This development was spotted by Leopeva64 on X, who regularly highlights web browser features which are being tested. What they actually discovered was a flag that can be enabled called ‘Client Side Detection Brand and Intent for Scam Detection,’ which is present in the latest version of Chrome’s experimental browser, Canary. It looks like Chrome will also use AI to detect scams, there’s a new flag in Canary […]

Google for Android has a new feature for duplicate tabsIt archives duplicate tabs and displays the most recent oneIt’s available in Chrome Canary right now Avid Google Chrome users often grapple with juggling multiple tabs, especially with duplicate tabs. On the desktop browser, there’s the battery saver and memory saver features to mitigate the massive memory costs of all the open tabs but Android browser users haven’t had a proper option until now. According to Chrome researcher @Leopeva64 from X (formerly Twitter), the latest Chrome Canary build has a new feature that, when switched on, will automatically archive duplicate tabs. If you have several tabs duplicating information, Chrome will archive the older ones and leave the most recent one in the tab switcher. This is only for the Android version of the browser, with the process remaining manual on the desktop version. Keep in mind that this is still only usable in Canary and therefore for only […]
