INSIGHT

Mass AI Upgrade Hidden In Chrome

  • Google rolled major Gemini-powered AI features into Chrome, upgrading everyday browsing for millions of users.
  • Many users likely didn't notice the rollout because changes live inside the browser they already use.
ADVICE

Use Agentic Browsing For Repetitive Tasks

  • Try agentic browsing for repetitive, multi-step web tasks like booking or form-filling to save time.
  • Note that agentic browsing currently requires a paid account and initial permission grants.
ADVICE

Switch Gemini Modes To Match Features

  • Open the Gemini sidebar via the new upper-right button and toggle modes (Auto, Fast, Pro) to match feature needs.
  • Switch modes because some features work better or only in specific modes.
