What it does, concretely

Browsing the web often creates information overload: long articles, dozens of open tabs, and repetitive tasks spread across multiple sites. Gemini in Chrome addresses this by embedding an AI assistant directly in the browser, with no third-party extension required.

The tool appears as a side panel accessible from the Gemini icon in the Chrome toolbar or via a keyboard shortcut. It reads the content of the active tab and, on desktop, can analyse up to ten open tabs simultaneously to summarise, compare or answer contextual questions.

Gemini in Chrome is aimed at users who spend a lot of time reading articles, comparing information across multiple pages or carrying out repetitive online tasks. It also suits Google Workspace subscribers who want to connect their browsing to Gmail, Calendar or Drive without switching tabs.

It is not suited to people who want to minimise the sharing of their browsing data with Google, nor to those who primarily use Firefox, Safari or another browser: the feature is exclusive to Chrome on Mac, Windows and Chromebook Plus.

What it offers

·Active tab summary: Gemini condenses the current tab's content into key points accessible in one click.
·Multi-tab analysis: on desktop, up to ten open tabs can be shared with Gemini to compare or synthesise information.
·Contextual questions: ask any question about a page's content and get an answer without leaving the tab.
·Google Workspace integration: Gemini can create a Google Calendar event, summarise a YouTube video or draft an email based on the page being viewed.
·History search: find a previously visited site via a natural-language question, without scrolling through the browser history manually.
·Automated browsing (paid): the 'auto browse' feature lets Gemini autonomously handle multi-step web tasks, available from the Google AI Pro plan.
·Persistent side panel: the Gemini panel remains accessible throughout browsing without interrupting the current page.

Our tips

Access the Gemini panel via the toolbar icon or set up a keyboard shortcut in Chrome settings to open it even faster.
To compare offers or articles, open all relevant tabs then ask Gemini to analyse them together: it can process up to ten tabs simultaneously.
Go to Settings > AI innovations > Gemini in Chrome to enable or disable the feature and manage what Gemini can access.
In 'Gemini Apps Activity', you can limit data retention to 72 hours instead of the default duration.
Gemini does not work in Incognito mode: use that mode if you want to browse without page content being sent to Gemini.

Watch out

Gemini collects and processes the content of shared tabs as well as their URLs, including elements not visible on screen. On a personal account, this data may be used to improve Google's models if the 'Web & App Activity' setting is enabled.
The automated browsing feature (auto browse) is reserved for Google AI Pro ($19.99/month) or AI Ultra subscribers: it is not available on the free plan or the AI Plus plan.
