Finding information online can often feel like a constant game of “tab hopping.” You start searching in one tab, then open another to follow a specific idea or topic. Then you have to switch back to Search to keep your train of thought going.

Our new Search experience in Chrome can change that. Today’s upgrades for AI Mode in Chrome make it easier to access and engage with content and dive deeper into what you find — all without losing your place or needing to switch tabs. It’s a more fluid way to discover and learn from the vast range of perspectives across the web.

Introducing a better way to explore the web

Now, when you're using AI Mode on Chrome desktop, clicking a link opens the webpage side-by-side with AI Mode. This makes it much easier to visit relevant websites, compare details and ask follow-up questions while still maintaining the context of your search.

Let’s say you’re shopping for a coffee maker that fits in your cozy apartment and can make lattes. Just head to AI Mode in Search, describe what you’re looking for and you’ll get a range of options that fit your criteria. See a model you like? Open the retailer’s site alongside AI Mode and ask specific questions, like, "How easy is this to clean?" Using context from the page and from across the web, AI Mode will share the insights you’re looking for, helping you make an informed decision with ease.

Or, perhaps you want to learn about the different McLaren Racing teams and how their pit crews train. With AI Mode in Chrome, you can easily explore related pages, like McLaren Racing’s official site, without breaking your flow. AI Mode is ready to handle your follow-up questions in real-time, creating a fluid process that helps you better digest each site you visit and uncover the next page to explore.

Our early testers loved that they didn’t have to constantly switch tabs to get help with a comprehensive article or a long video. And they found that having both Search and the web side-by-side helped them stay focused on their tasks while exploring useful web pages.

Search across your recent tabs and more

We’re also making it possible to search across the Chrome tabs you’re _already_ exploring. On Chrome desktop or mobile, you can tap the new “plus” menu in the search box on the New Tab page (or the existing plus menu within AI Mode) to select recent tabs and add them to your search. You aren't limited to one type of input, either: you can now mix and match multiple tabs, images or files (like PDFs) and bring that context into your AI Mode searches.

Maybe you’re researching local hiking trails and have several related sites open already. You can add those tabs to your search and ask for similar kid-friendly trails in a different location.

Sorry, your browser doesn't support embedded videos, but don't worry, you can download it and watch it with your favorite video player!

Or, if you’re studying for a statistics midterm, you can bring in context from open tabs with your class notes, lecture slides and academic papers and ask for more examples to illustrate a tricky concept. AI Mode will use those tabs to provide a tailored response and suggest more sites to explore.

Finally, powerful tools in AI Mode, like Canvas or image creation, are accessible wherever you see the new plus menu in Chrome.

All of today’s updates are now available in the U.S., and we’ll expand soon to more places around the world.
