Google Chrome adds online store reviews to help you know if they’re legit
If you're an experienced online shopper, then you know what it's like to question a site's legitimacy. It's common to come across something cool — or something you've been searching for far and wide, like, say, a Labubu — only to be unsure if the site is a scam.
Google Chrome is rolling out a new tool aimed at helping you see if a website is legit. While Google already provides details on product reviews in its search results, you'll now be able to see reviews of the store itself before you buy anything, built right into Chrome.
Wrote Google in a blog post on the new tool:
