Google Chrome now offers an Enhanced Protection mode that warns users when they visit sites resembling known scams. The new "suspicious site" alerts appear as smaller pop‑ups, offering options to mark a site as safe or return to safety. Unlike full‑page dangerous site warnings, these alerts indicate potential risk based on patterns similar to malicious sites. Users enable the feature in Chrome settings under Safe Browsing, which also uses AI analysis in real time. The feature requires sharing more browsing data with Google, linked to the user’s Google Account.

A security researcher demonstrated a software‑only jailbreak of the Switch 2, gaining userland access that allows running homebrew, backing up save files, and accessing most peripherals. The exploit relies on an integer overflow in the original Switch version of SmileBasic 4, a programming environment previously used in the 3DS smilehax hack. After about two weeks of testing, the researcher discovered a 32‑bit overflow that exposes an array pointer, enabling read/write access to system memory. From there, a buffer overflow in the FileSystem services module granted arbitrary read/write privileges, leading to native code execution. The proof‑of‑concept included modded characters in Mario Kart World, but the current userland exploit remains sandboxed and does not provide kernel‑level control.

YouTube has begun testing a change that removes the Subscriptions tab from the bottom navigation bar on its Android and iOS apps. The tab is now positioned in the top bar on the Home screen, appearing as the second item after Home. This shift follows a decade of the tab’s placement in the bottom bar, dating back to 2017. Alongside the move, YouTube is introducing custom feeds for Live, Music, and Movies & TV, and is redesigning the top bar to feature dedicated feeds. The changes are part of a broader effort to streamline the Home experience and are currently in testing on mobile and desktop for U.S. users.
