6 AI Features of the New Gemini-Powered Google Chrome (2025)

The web browser is one of the most essential tools for anyone. They are no longer just a gateway to help you find information; they are becoming more proactive and intelligent. Let's take the new Perplexity Comet browser as an example. Not only can this new browser, Perplexity, help you find information faster and more effectively, but its new assistant can take control over your browser and perform tasks for you.

We all know and love Google Chrome; it is the world's most well-known and most used web browser. Now, Google is welcoming the new Chrome with AI built in, making it more proactive and intelligent to help you better understand complicated information and be more productive.

Google Gemini is no longer just a separate app; Google is embedding its most powerful AI (Gemini) directly into Chrome, making it an intelligent, proactive work assistant. It seems like Google's goal is to make browsing smarter, more efficient, and safer, anticipating user needs before we even articulate them.

The new AI-powered Chrome introduces a suite of features designed to make the user workflow more streamlined and improve user productivity. And to make things easier, Google is also rolling out AI Mode in the address bar so you can ask longer, multi-part questions from the place you already search. The availability of this new feature begins with Mac and Windows in the U.S. (English), with mobile and Workspace support to follow.

Here are the top 6 AI-powered features of the new Gemini-powered Google Chrome:

1. Multi-tab intelligence

Gemini works across several tabs to compare and synthesize what you're reading, assisting in tasks like travel planning across flights, hotels, and activities, so you get a single, consolidated view instead of a dozen half-finished notes.

2. Memory recall for the web

Soon, you'll be able to ask, "What was that site I saw last week with the walnut desk?" and jump straight back without needing to scroll through your history.

3. Deep app integration

Ask Gemini to grab a timestamp from a YouTube clip, peek at a Maps location, or drop a meeting into Calendar, all done without you needing to leave the page you're on. It's the "work where you are" model, now native to Chrome.

4. AI Mode in the omnibox

The address bar is now conversational with the integration of AI mode. Just type your complex, multi-step questions, and you will receive contextual suggestions tied to the page you're viewing, and follow up right there. The feature launches with a U.S. rollout in English, with additional regions and languages to follow.

5. Agentic capabilities (coming months)

One of the most anticipated and talked about features is the Chrome Agentic capabilities, a feature that will be released in months. Google Chrome is preparing to let Gemini handle tedious web chores on your behalf, for example, tasks like booking a haircut and ordering groceries. Google Gemini will be acting on pages while you supervise and can stop at any time; it's complete automation with an obvious kill switch.

6. Safety upgrades powered by Gemini Nano

As we know, scammers find new ways to scam as tech improves; hence, to combat that, Google's Safe Browsing's Enhanced Protection mode, powered by Gemini Nano, will expand to catch fake "virus" pop-ups and giveaway scams. Google Chrome will also reduce spammy site notifications on a massive scale and is adding a one-click password change feature on supported sites.

These new AI-powered features do make Google Chrome feel fresher, more intelligent, and productivity-focused. However, will Google Chrome remain the top web browser with all the competition coming from new agentic AI browsers, or will these updates make it the ultimate web browser? I am excited to test the new agentic capabilities in the coming and compare it against Perplexity Comet and ChatGPT Agent Mode.

In Conclusion:

The integration of Google Gemini into Chrome is more than just a new set of features; it's a new browsing model that treats the web as an interactive workspace. If Google successfully lands the details on privacy, control, and transparency, this will set the baseline for what a "smart browser" should do: understand context, help you decide, and whenever you ask, do the boring stuff for you. While the full impact of these changes remains to be seen, one thing is clear: the way we browse the web is about to change forever.
