I remember the olden days when the internet was absolutely overwhelmed with pop-up ads that were near-impossible to get rid of. The problem of pop-up advertising has gotten significantly better over the last 20 years, thanks to pop-up blockers, but it still feels like we’re inundated with pop-up messages across the internet. So what’s the answer? According to Google, AI might be able to lend a hand (via TechRadar).
Google Chrome is now testing a new feature called “PermissionsAI”, which is designed to handle all the annoying pop-ups asking you questions. You know the ones I mean, the gray boxes that want to know your location, or are asking to pretty-please agree to receive notifications. You usually refuse permission, but you physically have to take action to get rid of the blasted things.
