Google brought a Google Lens functionality to Chrome similar to Circle to Search on smartphones. You also get a couple of new AI features.
Google on Thursday announced several new AI features for the Chrome browser. That includes new Google Lens functionality that works just like the Circle to Search feature Google brought to smartphones this year. Google unveiled Circle to Search in early January as an exclusive feature for Pixel 8 and Galaxy S24 phones. Since then, more Android phones have received it, including the new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6.
The Chrome browser will open a side panel on the right to show information about the element you selected. You can also type additional questions about your selection since Google Lens supports multimodal search. That is, it lets you combine your image with a text prompt. The feature might get you an AI Overview with additional information in the US. Hopefully, you'll never have to experience AI Overviews since they're still a big mess much of the time.
