Google finds new ways to keep you from ever clicking a link again
Google enhances AI integration in Chrome for seamless browsing.

Google is deepening its integration of AI mode into Chrome, allowing users to open links directly next to the search dialog, which keeps the chat interface active. This shift transforms the traditional web browsing experience, as users can now receive synthesized answers from AI based on the content of the opened pages without leaving the chat. The new features, including a plus menu for sharing context, signal a significant move towards a chatbot-centric browsing model that may reduce traffic to original sources.
