Google is adding multiple new AI features to Chrome, the most popular browser in the world. The Gemini in Chrome mode for the web browser uses generative AI to answer questions about content on a page and synthesize information across multiple open tabs. When I wrote about web browsers starting to add more generative AI tools back in 2023, it was primarily something that served as an alternative to the norm. Still, today marks the moment when the concept of an “AI browser” truly went mainstream with the weaving of Gemini so closely into the Chrome browser. So, the decision to AI-ify the Chrome browser for a wider set of users does not come as a shock.
