Abstract/ Summary

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly transforming how we work, learn, and interact online. New AI-powered browsers and extensions—sometimes called agentic AI browsers—can summarize content, automate tasks, and even take actions on your behalf. While these tools promise major productivity gains, they also introduce serious security and privacy risks that require your immediate attention.
