New Delhi: Google has been reported to have started testing Gemini in the Chrome browser on Chromebooks, months after the feature became available on Mac and Windows. According to some reports, the AI-powered feature is now beginning to appear on select ChromeOS devices through the latest Canary builds. This marks the first step toward bringing Gemini’s browser-based tools to Chromebook users. Google has also confirmed the availability on its support page, stating that Gemini in Chrome will begin rolling out on ChromeOS with Chrome version 144, starting with a limited number of selected devices and expanding gradually.
Gemini in Chrome initially rolled out on Windows and macOS in September 2025 for users in the US. The feature enables users to access the Gemini AI assistant directly within the Chrome browser. It can reference open tabs, summarise webpages, compare information across multiple sites, and use data from previously visited pages to answer questions.
The feature appears directly within the Chrome browser, enabling users to interact with Gemini while continuing their regular browsing. This reduces the need to switch between applications or manually copy text when researching or reading online. This update arrives later than expected for ChromeOS users. Its appearance in Canary builds shows that development is moving forward. A broader rollout is still likely to take time, and there is no confirmed date for when Gemini in Chrome will reach all ChromeOS users.
