Google Chrome Gets A Major AI Makeover
Google is giving Chrome a fresh AI-powered upgrade that promises to change how we browse the web. These new features are designed to make browsing not just smarter, but also safer and more productive. Instead of simply being a tool to visit websites, Chrome is evolving into a proactive, context-aware browser that understands and supports your needs in real time.
Gemini AI Assistant Powers Smarter Browsing In Chrome
At the center of this update is Gemini AI, Google’s intelligent browsing assistant. With Gemini, Chrome can now answer questions about articles, help you follow content across multiple tabs, and even find references inside YouTube videos. Soon, it will also be able to resurface pages you’ve visited before with just a click. This feature is first rolling out to Mac and Windows users in the U.S. (in English), and later to Android and iOS. Google has also confirmed plans to connect Gemini with tools like Docs and Calendar—making it easier to manage tasks, research, and workflows right from your browser.
AI-Powered Chrome Omnibox For Smarter Searches
Google is also reinventing the Chrome omnibox—the address bar we all use daily. The new AI Mode allows users to type complex, multi-step questions directly into the omnibox. It doesn’t just return links—it provides context-aware suggestions and even lets you follow up with more queries, almost like chatting with your browser.
Smarter Shopping With Chrome’s AI Omnibox
One of the most exciting updates is for online shoppers. The AI-powered Omnibox can suggest follow-up searches based on the page you’re browsing. For example, if you’re looking at a product, Chrome might prompt: “What’s the warranty policy?” These contextual suggestions are already live in the U.S., while full AI Mode will roll out later this month—making shopping and searching faster, easier, and much more intuitive.
