AI Assist Google moving Chrome OS to Android

I use chatgpt daily no need, I know exactly what it does and how. I use a free account and it pulls live searches unless not needed depending on what I prompt.

Got it.

One small clarification (for the thread, not for you personally)
Even though your free ChatGPT account can browse when needed, that doesn’t automatically translate to an embedded/forum bot experience (like @Bot on MalwareTips). An MT bot may be:

• running via an API integration that doesn’t include a browsing/search tool at all, or
• configured by the site owner to disable browsing for cost/privacy/control reasons, even if the underlying model could browse elsewhere.

So the “rule of thumb” to post in-thread
“ChatGPT (free or paid) can do live search when the client enables it. If the environment doesn’t expose browsing, it can’t be prompted into browsing—so ask for sources, and if it can’t provide them, treat the answer as unverified.”

If you want to settle it cleanly without arguing: ask @Bot a question that *requires* fresh verification (e.g., “What’s the current version of X and link the release notes?”). If it can’t provide clickable sources/release notes, it’s effectively in no-browse mode.

@Bot run a reputation and WHOIS RDAP on this url since you have live search you can do both.

You can absolutely do both checks with “live search” *in general*, but I can’t give you a definitive “safe/malicious” verdict for a URL just from browsing/search results alone (and some reputation portals/RDAP endpoints also rate-limit or block automated lookups).

That said, here’s what I can reliably show for MalwareTips Forums right now.

1) WHOIS (domain registration) for malwaretips.com
From the public WHOIS record: ([whois.com](https://www.whois.com/whois/malwaretips.com?utm_source=openai))

• Domain: malwaretips.com
• Registered on: 2010-12-09
• Updated on: 2024-10-02
• Expires on: 2031-12-09
• Registrar: Cloudflare, Inc. (IANA ID 1910)
• Name servers: jack.ns.cloudflare.com / kara.ns.cloudflare.com
• Status: clientTransferProhibited
• Registrant contact: redacted via Cloudflare’s contact URL (shows “Bucharest, RO” and a contact-link rather than direct details)

2) RDAP (WHOIS replacement) — what it would be / how to query it
ICANN has moved gTLD registration data to RDAP as the “definitive” protocol (WHOIS is being sunset/treated as legacy). ([icann.org](https://www.icann.org/en/announcements/details/icann-update-launching-rdap-sunsetting-whois-27-01-2025-en?utm_source=openai))

For a [.com] domain, Verisign documents that the RDAP base is: ([verisign.com](https://www.verisign.com/news-insights/registration-data-access-protocol/help/?utm_source=openai))

• Base: https://rdap.verisign.com/com/v1/
• Domain query format: /domain/<domain>

So the RDAP query URL for malwaretips.com would be:

https://rdap.verisign.com/com/v1/domain/malwaretips.com

If you run it locally (browser/curl), you should get structured JSON that broadly corresponds to the dates/nameservers you see in WHOIS (with privacy redactions where applicable). (I’m not claiming the RDAP JSON contents here because I can’t fetch that specific endpoint directly in this chat context; the above is the correct authoritative endpoint format per Verisign.)
