New AI features for Chrome

Gemini in Chrome

Google is rolling out Gemini in Chrome to Mac and Windows desktop users in the US with their language set to English, so users can ask Gemini to clarify complex information on any webpage they are reading.

The company will also be bringing Gemini into Chrome mobile in the US. Android users will be able to activate Gemini when using Chrome and other apps by holding the power button. And, starting soon, on iOS, Gemini in Chrome will be built into the app. Gemini in Chrome will be available to businesses in the coming weeks via Google Workspace with enterprise-grade data protections and controls.

Agentic browsing assistant

In the coming months, Google will be introducing agentic capabilities to Gemini in Chrome. These will let Gemini in Chrome handle those tedious tasks that take a lot of time, like booking a haircut or ordering your weekly groceries. You tell Gemini in Chrome what you want to get done, and it acts on web pages on your behalf, though it can be stopped at any time, so you’re in control.

Gemini in Chrome works across multiple tabs

With Gemini in Chrome working across multiple tabs, you can quickly compare and summarize information across multiple websites to find what you need.

Find webpages you previously visited

You will soon be able to use Gemini in Chrome to find the previously visited web pages and pick up from exactly where you left.

Integration of Gemini in Chrome with Google apps

Google has built a deeper integration between Gemini in Chrome and Google apps like Calendar, YouTube, and Maps, so you can schedule meetings, see location details, and more without leaving the page you are on.

Search with AI Mode right from the omnibox

You will have the option to quickly access AI Mode right from the Chrome address bar (omnibox) on your computer. The update will be rolling out later this month in English in the US and expanding to more countries and languages in the weeks ahead.

Learn more about your current page

You can now ask questions about the entire page right from the omnibox. Chrome can suggest relevant questions based on the context of the page to help you kickstart your search. You will get a helpful AI Overview from Search right alongside the page, with the ability to ask follow-up questions in AI Mode, so you don’t have to leave the page.

Contextual suggestions are available in the US in English and will be rolling out to more countries and languages in the weeks ahead.

Combat more sophisticated scams with Gemini Nano

Safe Browsing’s Enhanced Protection mode already uses Gemini Nano to help identify tech support scams that try to trick you into downloading harmful software. Soon, this protection will be expanded to also stop sites that use fake viruses or fake giveaways to trick you.

No dodgy notifications and unwanted permissions

Chrome now detects potentially spammy or scammy notifications and gives you the option of seeing them or unsubscribing.

You always want to be careful when granting sites permissions, like access to your camera or location. Chrome now uses AI to learn your preferences and to take into account signals like site quality. When it determines you’re unlikely to grant them, it will present permissions requests in a less intrusive way.

Change compromised passwords in 1 step

Chrome already automatically and securely fills in your login credentials and proactively alerts you if any of your passwords are compromised. Very soon, it’ll use AI as a password agent to go a step further, letting you change your saved passwords with a single click on supported sites, like Coursera, Spotify, Duolingo, H&M, and more.
