BlockBeats News, May 9th, Chrome will download a several GB-sized AI model file on users' devices without their knowledge, for local anti-fraud, page summary, and AI functionality support. Despite Google's claim that running AI locally can enhance privacy and security, many encrypted users question its lack of transparency and explicit authorization.

Analysts believe that as the browser gradually becomes the primary entry point for encrypted wallets, on-chain transactions, and DApps, the browser itself has become a vital part of the encrypted security system. Industry insiders are concerned that while deep AI integration may enhance phishing website detection, it will also expand the browser's attack surface, including risks such as malicious plugins, fake transaction pages, and wallet hijacking.

The article points out that in the future, encrypted users may need to manage the browser environment similar to protecting hardware wallets, including isolating browser configurations, limiting extension permissions, and using hardware wallets to store large assets.
