I still remember searching on the Internet , Click to open a link , Ad pages fill the screen , Then the desktop pops up with software of unknown origin . It used to take a certain amount of courage to open a network link at will , Now that fear seems to have abated .

Many browsers now have built-in phishing detection functions ,Google Chrome Browsers are no exception . It's not surprising , But recently Google has incorporated machine learning into its functionality , There seems to be some different changes .

although Google Chrome Detect phishing sites in last year's Chrome M92 When you update it , at that time Google The performance of this function has been improved , Calculate the time of phishing classification results from 1.8 Seconds reduced to 100 millisecond , The speed has been further improved .

In March of this year , Google has updated its machine learning model , There is also a certain improvement in the number of recognition , Websites that can identify phishing attacks or attempt to provide malicious downloads are previous 2.5 times .

（ If a phishing site is detected , The interface will appear ）

Think what you think , Machine learning is so magical ？

Some boring notification requests pop up , Even if you always order off or not allowed . But it will still “ not to mind taking the trouble ” Appearance , It's kind of “ Not interested ” 了 .

Google incorporated machine learning into notifications , Make it more “ Understand you ”.

Google mentioned ：“ In order to reduce the interference when users browse the web ,Chrome The browser predicts when the permission prompt is unlikely to be accepted , And mute these prompts . In the next version of Chrome in , We will launch a ML（Machine Learning） Model , The model will make predictions on the device .”

in other words , If at some time , The power limitation prompt is always rejected , Next time, it may pop up silently or be blocked .

in addition , Generally speaking , The position of some function options in the browser is relatively fixed , But based on your usage habits and other predictions , Provide different option buttons where and when you might use them , Isn't it amazing ？（ Of course , It may not be what you want ）

In future versions , Google may offer this feature , Adjust in real time Chrome The toolbar , For example, sharing icons or voice search can be converted （ Here's the picture ）. however , If the user is still used to using the manual switch button , It's OK, too .

Changing options don't seem like a good idea

Some netizens will question whether such adjustment will bring new troubles , For example, there are no options displayed when you want to use them . But some netizens seem to have some other concerns ：

• It's a terrible idea . I hope Google tests people of different ages UI Not just based on 20 People in their teens come to the test .

  For many 60 For people in their twenties , Constantly changing UI Elements are a nightmare . in fact , Many older people can't even tell UI The logo of . They rely on muscle memory and position .

  An interesting example is about me 70 A multi-year-old grandmother , She couldn't understand the call banner , Unless the caller ID fills the entire screen . So I bought one for her iPhone, But later the system was updated to iOS 13, It also has a telephone banner , And unlike Google, which can be shut down .

• Yes , If Google introduces “AI” function , Then random display / Hiding content will annoy end users . This is with you 20 Age or 70 Age has nothing to do with , Randomly varying UI Elements , Let you not fully know why the icon appears or disappears , This will only be the opposite of the user .

Google introduced machine learning to adjust the options icon “ Idea ” It doesn't seem particularly popular , What do you think of this , Welcome to tell us .
