Browser Privacy & Security

The Overview section is the main screen of ESET Browser Privacy & Security extension and gives you quick access to the following features:

AI Conversation Security

AI Conversation Security scans responses from supported AI assistants for references to potentially unreliable or unsafe sources, as well as for malicious code. Scanning runs automatically in the background, so your browsing experience remains uninterrupted.

When an AI response is evaluated as problematic, a warning or alert icon appears in the corner of the flagged element (source link, script):

• Warning—The response references content from a source we identified as potentially unreliable.

• Alert—The response references an unsafe source or contains malicious code.

Hovering over the warning/alert icon displays an explanation of the detected issue.
