AI Becomes Core to Chrome
The new features, now rolling out for desktop users in the US with English set as their Chrome language, are designed to move Chrome beyond being just a browser. According to Google, it’s now a tool that can _“understand the web,”_ take action on the user’s behalf, and surface information across apps and pages without users needing to search manually.
Gemini, Google’s generative AI model, is now embedded directly into Chrome. Once enabled, users can ask Gemini to summarise web pages, compare information across tabs, revisit previously visited sites, or interact with integrated Google apps such as Calendar and Maps without switching tabs. In essence, the browser becomes a conversational assistant.
_“Today represents the biggest upgrade to Chrome in its history,”_ said Google VP Parisa Tabriz. _“We’re building Google AI into Chrome across multiple levels so it can better anticipate your needs, help you understand more complex information and make you more productive.”_
