Privacy Badger for Chrome is a free extension designed to automatically learn to block numerous invisible trackers. Instead of keeping lists of what to block, Privacy Badger for Chrome learns by watching which domains appear to be tracking you as you browse the Web. Privacy Badger sends the Do Not Track signal (https://www.eff.org/issues/do-not-track) with your browsing. If trackers ignore your wishes, Privacy Badger for Chrome will learn to block them.

Anthropic has launched an investigation into what went wrong during a recent test of three models that left a trio of companies accidentally hacked.

The interaction is easy: tap the Digital Crown and Apple's new glowing icon appears on screen (you'll also find this in the App viewer).

It doesn't say so in as many words, of course. According to the Google Ads & Commerce Blog (spotted by PCMag), it's a move meant for "improving navigation and introducing a new control." The new look groups all of the text-based links that are paid for into a single "Sponsored results" section, which can be collapsed by clicking or pressing a button. The new look is coming to Search on desktop and mobile, "currently rolling out globally."
