Chrome Gets Built-In Gemini

Google has announced what it calls the biggest upgrade to Chrome in its history, introducing a wide range of Gemini AI-powered features to the browser, and they’re not optional.

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.
