Whether You Like it or Not, Google is Turning Chrome Into an AI browser
Google has fundamentally redesigned its Chrome browser. Gemini, the AI engine, will now take over "tedious, routine tasks" directly in the browser.
Google has announced a deep integration of its artificial intelligence Gemini into the Chrome browser. The AI will be able to take over routine tasks, such as restaurant reservations, hair appointments, or grocery shopping, for users.
The US tech giant describes this development as the beginning of a "new era" for Chrome, according to a blog post from the company. The browser will "transform from a passive to a proactive and intelligent experience."
What exactly is changing?
Address bar becomes AI headquarters.
In the Chrome address bar, which Google refers to as the "Omnibox," users will soon be able to enter complex search queries and formulate questions. An AI summary of the page being viewed will then appear in a sidebar. Contextual search suggestions will also be displayed.
Google is also integrating Gemini with other services such as YouTube, Google Maps, and its own calendar. This enables the AI to integrate relevant information from multiple sources.
Agentic skills are intended to simplify everyday life.
In the coming months, the AI will receive so-called agentic capabilities, it continues. These will allow Gemini to perform actions independently while users work in other browser tabs. According to Charmaine D'Silva, head of product management at Google, the AI will be able to take over "tedious tasks," reports the tech portal The Verge.
According to the report, Google plans to offer users control options for actions that are risky or irreversible. Gemini will also be able to compare information from multiple simultaneously open tabs and search the browser history for specific content.
Security features are being expanded.
The AI integration is also intended to increase security. Gemini detects malicious websites and blocks unnecessary notifications. If passwords are compromised, the browser warns and can automatically change them on some websites.
When will this happen?
The new features will initially launch exclusively in the US for desktop users with English language settings. A mobile update and support for additional languages and regions are planned, but the US tech giant has not provided a specific timeline.
