Chrome bakes agentic AI into browsing

Google is rolling Gemini into Chrome for U.S. desktop users, adding a chatbot that summarizes pages and multiple tabs, with address‑bar 'AI Mode' prompts coming soon. Google also plans agent features that will control the cursor to perform tasks like adding items to shopping carts. — Putting agentic AI inside the default browser could reshape online trust, consumer protection, and data‑rights policy as assistants start acting, not just advising.
