France’s Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) announced on October 19 a list of websites that illegally offer crypto assets or crypto asset services in France, newly identified in the third quarter. The listed sites include alphaairobot.com, aureoncorevix.net, bitgrokapp.com, bitkelttrade.com, cryptobullbear.com, investpathline.com, and others. Since the start of 2026, AMF has added a total of 64 entries to this blacklist. The regulator noted that the list is updated regularly but is not exhaustive due to the continuous emergence of new unauthorised or fraudulent entities. The public can access the full blacklist via the "Espace épargnants > Protéger son épargne > Listes noires et mises en garde" section on AMF’s official website and the ABEIS website. They can also check the whitelist of authorised crypto asset service providers (PSCA) on AMF’s site to verify whether relevant institutions are permitted to operate in France.

Beating AI Express: AI Agent-dedicated browser ego (lite) officially launches Windows beta, following its prior macOS-only availability. Users can leverage the `ego-browser` skill to enable existing agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor to directly control the browser. Built on Chromium, ego (lite) supports one-click import of Chrome bookmarks, extensions, cookies, and login sessions. Agents can interact directly with logged-in sites including Gmail, X, and enterprise dashboards to complete tasks such as data collection, form filling, and web testing. Each agent has its own dedicated Space workspace, allowing multiple tasks to run simultaneously without interfering with tabs the user is actively using. Users can take over at any time for steps like CAPTCHAs or payment processes. The browser also revolutionizes how agents read and operate web pages: it generates a streamlined page structure, marking elements like buttons and input fields to avoid feeding full-page HTML to models. Agents can sequence multiple operations into a single JavaScript execution, reducing tool calls and token consumption. In prior internal tests of four browser-related tasks, the official team reported ego (lite) was up to 3.45x faster than Vercel’s agent-browser.
