Store Review isn’t a feature Google has heavily promoted—yet. And that could be because it’s slowly rolling it out to Chrome users. First discovered by a user on social media, Store Review is one of Google’s AI-powered tools that it’s been quietly integrating into Chrome.

Here’s what we’ve uncovered so far: Store Reviews pulls data from trusted platforms like Trust Pilot and ScamAdvisor. This AI technology scans independent reviews and provides a summarized snapshot of a website’s trustworthiness. For example, if you’re shopping online and come across a new retailer, this tool could help you decide if it’s safe to enter your payment details.

For everyday users, this could result in you spending time researching or taking risks on unfamiliar sites.

The Store Reviews feature will be accessible from the address bar. By clicking on the lock or “i” icon, you’ll unlock a small panel containing a section labeled “Store Reviews.” From there, Chrome will show you the security summary.

For businesses, features like this could significantly influence customer behavior. Imagine potential customers clicking on your site and seeing glowing reviews summarized by Chrome. It’s a free credibility boost—if your reputation is strong. But if your reviews are less than stellar, it’s a wake-up call to address concerns before they impact your bottom line.

From an IT perspective, this reinforces the importance of maintaining a secure and responsive website. It’s not just about appearances—it’s about proactively managing cybersecurity and ensuring a seamless user experience. Tools like Store Reviews remind us that online trust is earned, not given.
