The AI browser wars have just gotten a serious new player: Google's Gemini in Chrome is now available in India, alongside Canada and New Zealand.
Gemini is an AI browsing assistant that will revolutionize the way we use the web browser, making it more productive, helpful, and safe.
With Gemini, users can get page summaries, search and explain information, compare options, and work across Google apps as a full-fledged chatbot.
The key design integration is a sidebar within the window, making it easy to access and use.
Google's pitch is simple: to make Gemini available to users within apps where it has localised relevance.
The wider rollout of Gemini in Chrome must worry OpenAI, Microsoft, and other browser makers, as Google Chrome dominates the global browser market with approximately 69.89% share.
Gemini for Chrome is available for MacOS, Windows, and Chromebook Plus platforms, and Google expects Chrome with Gemini enabled to act as the glue between its different services.
