What's new:

• Gemini Nano powers scam detection directly on your device in Chrome
• Works with Enhanced Protection mode to identify risky websites instantly
• Currently targets fake tech support scams, with more types coming soon

🎨 Figma Challenges WordPress and Adobe With AI Tools That Build Websites Without Coding

Figma has launched a powerful suite of AI-driven tools that let users create fully functional websites, interactive prototypes, and marketing materials directly from designs. This expansion far exceeds Figma's original purpose as a design platform.

What's new:

• Figma Sites transforms design mockups into live, publishable websites
• Add animations, transitions, and responsive layouts without technical skills
• Built-in blog creation with upcoming CMS for content management

🔍 Apple Eyes AI Search Revolution in Safari as Google Searches Decline for the First Time

Apple is exploring partnerships with AI search engines like Perplexity, OpenAI, and Anthropic to bring new search capabilities to Safari, according to Apple's services chief, Eddy Cue.

What's happening:

• Apple "actively looking at" adding AI search options to Safari
• In discussions with Perplexity, OpenAI, and Anthropic about potential integration
• Safari searches declined last month for the first time in 22 years
• Cue admits current AI search tools "just not good enough" yet
• Apple wants flexibility to switch between AI providers if needed
• Google currently pays Apple around $20 billion to be Safari's default search engine
• Apple already has ChatGPT integration with Siri
• Google is working on bringing Gemini to iPhone
• Search decline threatens Apple's lucrative revenue-sharing arrangement with Google

Why it matters:

The revelation that Safari searches have fallen for the first time ever signals a potential shift in how people find information online. As traditional search behavior changes with the rise of AI-powered alternatives, Apple appears poised to adapt Safari to this new reality.

This move could reshape the search landscape currently dominated by Google while preserving Apple's significant search-related revenue stream.
