Google has just announced new updates to Google Chrome for mobile that has Ai built into its structure. These features will also soon be added to your desktop browser.
- Google Lens in Chrome – allows users to easily select, search and ask questions about anything you see on the web- without leaving the current tab
- Select text from YouTube videos – enables a viewer to select text from a video that is playing – as an example you can get a formula from a science video and get a description or more details in the Chrome side-panel. Ai will provide further details or you can ask questions on any topic being viewed in the side panel and you will be provided further options on the topic
- Product compare– Tab compare function allows for a viewer to compare products across multiple sites
- Easy search function on browser history – When accessing your history tab you can now search intuitively by topic or subject or any other variable so you can simply ask What was the holiday resort in Cape Town with a view of Robbin Island? And Chrome will present you with relevant pages from your search history
- User actions enabled – Chrome provides shortcut buttons in your search results to execute quick actions such as call, email or get directions
