Chrome is entering a new era powered by AI to help you understand complex information and get things done more efficiently.

Back in 2008, when we launched Chrome, we set out to build a browser that was faster, more secure, stable and open. In doing so, Chrome helped set the standard for speed and safety, kickstarting a new era of web innovation.

Today, we're taking another critical step in our journey to make the web better by making your browser smarter. This isn’t just about adding new features; it’s about fundamentally changing the nature of browsing, and moving from a passive experience to a more proactive and intelligent one. It’s about creating a browser that goes beyond rendering the web, to one that understands it, helps you be more productive, and keeps you safer online.

In today’s Behind the Browser, we shared our vision for how we’re bringing this to life with AI. We’re building an AI-centric browser that uses context — like the page you’re reading or the tabs you have open — to help you get things done faster, easier, and more safely than ever.

Imagine you're a student researching a topic for a paper, and you have dozens of tabs open. Instead of spending hours jumping between sources and trying to connect the dots, your new AI browsing assistant — Gemini in Chrome 1 — can do it for you. Gemini can answer questions about articles, find references within YouTube videos, and will soon be able to help you find pages you’ve visited so you can pick up exactly where you left off.

Rolling out to Mac and Windows users in the U.S. with their language set to English, Gemini in Chrome can understand the context of what you’re doing across multiple tabs, answer questions and integrate with other popular Google services, like Google Docs and Calendar. And it’ll be available on both Android and iOS soon, letting you ask questions and summarize pages while you’re on the go.

We’re also developing more advanced agentic capabilities for Gemini in Chrome that can perform multi-step tasks for you from start to finish, like ordering groceries. You’ll remain in control as Chrome handles the tedious work, turning 30-minute chores into 3-click user journeys.
