AI-powered browser agents in Chrome and Edge are under fire for posing serious security risks. These tools, designed for task automation and productivity, often run with full user privileges but lack basic security awareness — making them blind to phishing sites, fake URLs, and suspicious access requests. Cybersecurity firm SquareX likens them to toddlers with dangerous levels of access. While Google and Microsoft offer enhanced protections, these must be manually enabled. As AI tools become more integrated, experts warn that without smarter safeguards, they could become costly vulnerabilities rather than assets.
