The tools The generative is fine, but an AI that is fully integrated into our browser can be even better, Perplexity comet It is a good example. If we join the AI with The most used browser in the world The potential is huge. Google has just announced one of the biggest updates for Chrome, one in which AI is the absolute protagonist.
Why is it important. Microsoft Copilot in Edge, Perplexity comet, Brave… The career of the browsers with AI already has a route, but few have the draft that Chrome has (largely because it is the one that comes by default in Android). In fact, we have seen attempts to bring the AI Chrome as Chatgpt Search extension either Claude’sbut Google has just taken a step that marks a turning point, not only for AI browsers, but for how we look on the Internet.
Understand the context. To access Google AI you will not have to open a new tab, it will be enough to press the button that appears in the upper right corner of the browser. When joining Chrome, we can ask questions and answer taking into account the context of all the eyelashes that we have open at that time. For example, we can ask you to summarize and organize the information if we are investigating a specific topic, such as the best itinerary for a trip. It also integrates with other Google products such as Calendar, Maps or YouTube.
Ia mode. It is activated in the address bar, what Google calls Omniboxand promises to change the search experience. According to Google, we can ask complex questions and deepen more on a topic, directly in the same place where we do the “normal” searches. The example that Google sets is that we are looking at mattresses and we can ask you about the guarantee policy of a specific model. At the moment this mode is activated manually, but as they point out in Ars Technicait is a step towards becoming the default mode.
Goodbye to the history. One of the advantages offered by integration with Gemini is to be able to find pages that we have visited more easily. Now we have to open the record and look for it, but with Gemini we could ask something like “In which page were I looking at that gray sofa that was on offer?” And you will find it directly.
Agricultural functions. This will still take a few months, but Google already anticipates some agerentic functions that promise to save us a lot of time. According to Google, “will convert 30 -minute tasks into three clicks.” Among the examples they put is to arrange an appointment in the hairdressing or make the purchase. The browser will be able to add items to the basket or send emails in our name, without having to intervene.
Security. The update also improves the detection of possible fraudulent sites and will show notices to prevent us from falling into a SCAM. It will also facilitate the change of passwords that have appeared in data leaks so that we can do it in a single click, although only in places that support it.
Availability. At the moment, Gemini in Chrome is available in the United States for users who have configured the English browser, both in Windows and Mac. Google says that it will reach iOS and Android apps soon. And most importantly: for the moment It can only be used if we are subscribers of Gemini Pro or Ultra.
