The regulars of Google Chrome will note that it is not, in essence of a fully unprecedented functionality: today, Chrome already warns you if your password has been compromised as part of a data violation by Example, and offers you to modify it. However, thanks to artificial intelligence, this process is much simpler: using AI, Google Chrome allows itself to perform this task without asking you, in order to protect your data as quickly as possible.

This is not the first function linked to the AI ​​of Google Chrome : other functions such as the automatic grouping of tabs and intelligent research in the history have also made it possible to add artificial intelligence to the user experience of the browser. For the time being, the function is only available in the canary version of Google Chrome, it will therefore be necessary to wait a little before it is available from all users of the service. It is recalled that Canary is the experimental version of the browser, allowing the test and testing many new features, before they are deployed to the general public.
