Google recently announced that the desktop version of Chrome will be getting some new features in the coming weeks. Powered by “the latest Google AI and Gemini models", the upcoming features will help you save time and easily find the things you were looking for. Here’s a quick look at these AI-powered features. Tab Compare When shopping online, constantly switching between multiple tabs to read reviews and compare prices can be cumbersome and time-consuming. To tackle this issue, Chrome for desktop will soon get a new ‘Tab compare’ feature that will give you an AI-generated overview of products spanning multiple tabs. For example, if you are searching for a new smartwatch with product details and reviews spread across multiple tabs, Chrome will generate a comparison table with details like specs, features, ratings and price in one tab, so you can take informed decisions. Search history using natural language Browser history can be really useful if you accidentally close a tab or window or want to find a page that you were browsing a few hours ago. While you can already search for a page using Chrome’s history feature, it can be really hard if you want to find some information on a page that you opened a while ago. But in the coming weeks, Google says users can go through their browsing history in "a more natural, conversational way with the help of AI" by asking questions like "What was that ice cream shop I looked at last week?". The company adds that this feature will be optional and won't include any browsing data from incognito mode. Google Lens comes to Chrome Google Lens, the company’s visual search tool will soon be available on the desktop version of the Chrome. In the coming days, Google says users will be able to “easily select, search and ask questions about anything you see on the web, all without leaving your current tab.” To use Google Lens in Chrome, all you need to do is press on the colourful camera icon that appears on the address bar and click or drag the things you want to search. Alternatively, you can also trigger Lens by simply right-clicking or using the three-dot menu. Google says users can also refine your search using the multisearch feature to do things like “search by colour, brand or another detail” and even ask follow-up questions.
