Gemini in Chrome rolls out to all US Android users
Google made Gemini in Chrome available to all Android users in the U.S. on August 18, 2026, per the company’s own announcement. The update adds an “auto browse” feature, letting Gemini complete routine tasks such as booking parking or managing recurring orders for Google AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers, with confirmation prompts before sensitive actions.
Why it matters: Google keeps layering agentic, task-completing features onto Gemini in Chrome rather than just answers, pushing the browser itself toward doing search-adjacent work for users.
