Google has taken AI integration in its desktop Chrome browser a step further. The new feature introduces Gemini AI for past search, allowing users to query Chrome’s address bar using natural language and easily access pages they visited in the past. Here are the details…
Google Chrome Adds AI-Powered Past Search and More Features
With the new browsing history search feature, users can query Chrome with phrases like “the slicer page I visited on Amazon last week,” and the browser will locate the relevant page. This feature will initially be available only to users in the U.S. and will be limited to desktop versions.
By default, this feature will be enabled but can be disabled by users if desired. It will be off in Incognito mode by default. Google acknowledges that this feature will analyze users’ browsing history but assures that the data will not be used to train AI applications.
However, data will be processed in the cloud, which means some future devices might skip this step. Additionally, Chrome will receive two more new features: First, Google Lens is being expanded to desktop platforms, which was previously only available on Android and iOS devices.
Second, a new feature for comparing products between browser tabs will be introduced. Users will be able to get help from an AI bot to compare products across two tabs, summarizing key features, reviews, and prices.
