Google Chrome Using Machine Learning to Protect Users From Bad Extensions

Google has introduced a new method to detect confusing and deceptive browser extensions on Chrome. In the next few weeks, Google will start using machine learning as an expansion of abuse protection to reduce harm to Chrome users. The search giant will upgrade its automated inline installation abuse detection features to find out malicious extensions. The search giant already has an extension-level protection but it will now incorporate machine learning to look at each inline installation request for bad signals in ads and webpages. This will ensure that inline installation of the extension from non-deceptive sources is not affected.
