Google Gemini AI finds 55 Chrome bugs and introduces system‑wide Chrome shortcut
Google's Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber model was tested on Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine and identified 55 confirmed, unique security vulnerabilities, out‑performing the standard Gemini 3.5 Flash variant (47) and a competing Claude Opus 4.6 model (36). The system detected critical flaws such as remote code execution and memory corruption within two hours in a production cloud environment.
Separately, Google Chrome has added a system‑wide keyboard shortcut (+G) that brings up the Gemini chat assistant. The shortcut, observed on macOS and Windows, is listed under the browser's "AI Innovations" settings and does not appear for all users, suggesting possible regional or group‑based activation.
