Gemini in Chrome can explain pages and help with browsing tasks. Auto browse adds agentic capabilities for eligible users, rather than merely summarising text.

Google develops Chrome and Gemini; websites and extensions remain separate operators.

Browsing, synchronisation, website permissions and Gemini interactions involve different controls rather than one universal switch.

Browser permissions, task approvals and extension controls govern what information and actions are available.

Inspect website and extension permissions and review an assistant’s proposed actions before granting access to an account.

A quick answer, saved password or completed task rewards use of the same browser.

Restored tabs, saved sites and relevant prompts bring earlier browsing back.

Autofill, synchronisation and Gemini assistance reduce repeated navigation and data entry.

Shared links and web conventions make the browser central to other people’s work and recommendations.

An accumulation of tabs, credentials and extensions makes changing browsers feel like moving house.
