Google is working on an important feature that will bring the Chrome browser together with artificial intelligence. Codenamed ‘Glic’, this innovation aims to integrate the AI-powered assistant called Gemini Live into the browser. So what does Glic offer and why does it stand out? Here’s what you need to know…
Google Chrome is incorporating artificial intelligence!
According to information leaked by a user named Leopeva64, Glic has features that could change the future structure of Chrome. It seems that a special page has been added to the settings menu.

It may even be a panel or a side user interface that provides contextual information about the pages navigated.
