Google has rolled out a new AI Mode in Chrome that enhances the browsing experience by allowing users to open links side by side with their chat in the same tab. This feature aims to simplify navigation and reduce tab clutter, making it easier for users to continue conversations without switching back and forth between different tabs. For instance, users can search for a coffee machine, open relevant links, and ask follow-up questions seamlessly. Additionally, a new 'plus' menu in the search box enables users to search across currently open tabs, allowing them to mix and match multiple tabs, images, or files like PDFs for a more contextual search experience. Although this functionality is currently available only in the United States, Google has indicated that it plans to expand access to more regions soon. Users who tested the feature reported that having both the search and web content side by side helped them maintain focus while exploring useful web pages.
