To make the open web safer, Google is launching *website owner verification*. Starting in 2026, Google will require all websites to be registered in order to be opened on Chrome.

All website owners are encouraged to sign up for early access. This is the best way to get ready and stay updated.

To get verified, all you need to do is providing your personal details, upload an official ID, and pay a 25$.

For hobbyists, Google is working on another console so you can add every Google accounts that are allowed to see your website.

And as Google is committed to keep the web open, they will provide a command line interface to open a single page of a non-verified website, but it's very dangerous and your Chrome will lose its certification. This will allow banks to forbid access to their website from non-certified Chrome.
