Google is giving Chrome its biggest AI upgrade yet. Starting now, Mac and Windows users in the US can access a new AI mode directly from the address bar—no subscription required. With Gemini built in, Chrome will not only answer your questions but also provide AI overviews and let you ask follow-ups for deeper clarity.

At launch, the feature is only available to US users who set English as their default language. But the integration is designed to go far beyond simple search assistance. With Gemini in Chrome, you can ask the AI to simplify complex content, summarise long articles, or even compare information across multiple tabs. For instance, if you’re researching which phone to buy, Gemini can create a side-by-side table pulling details from all the tabs you’ve opened.

The AI mode also works with Google’s ecosystem of apps. That means you could tell Gemini to create a calendar reminder from a product launch date or jump to a specific moment in a YouTube video right from Chrome. These features are also headed to Google Workspace for both individual and enterprise users.

What’s Coming Next

Google says Gemini in Chrome will soon gain “agentic” powers—letting you restore closed tabs, pull up specific pages from your browsing history, or even help complete tasks like booking appointments and shopping. However, Google stresses that Gemini won’t handle “high-risk” or irreversible actions.

On top of that, Gemini Nano will be embedded in Chrome to boost safety, warning users about potential scams and generating stronger passwords when supported.

Joining the AI Browser Race

With competitors like Anthropic’s Claude, Perplexity’s Comet, and OpenAI’s rumoured Neon browser vying to define the future of browsing, Google’s move was inevitable. Chrome is already the world’s most widely used browser, and folding Gemini directly into it could make users think twice before switching elsewhere. The real test, however, will be how seamless and reliable this AI experience turns out to be.
