The first two are seemingly of questionable utility, but the 3rd feature (Help me write) is actually quite interesting.

As of late, most of my public written responses (bar HN) have had some sort of collaboration with ChatGPT, and I've often wondered about a native browser integration. For those of us who struggle with communication, this is an exciting prospect!

what i want is 'read aloud', like MS Edge

Edge is honestly slowly turning into a better Chrome, and the better parts aren't even the LLM craze.

On the AI end though Microsoft aggresively pursues support for other AI providers (Mistral and Lamma both being on Azure API's now), Google tying themselves to Gemini seems to be tying themselves to the best they can do while Microsoft seems to be accruing the best they can get.

I hope the Chrome devs will add some features like those in Arc browser, such as summarizing content while hovering over a link and pressing Shift.

That would be useful, but also probably quite expensive, if every chrome user use this feature?

Serious question: What do you like about Edge?

I’ve tried it a couple of times (when Bing AI chat was still Edge-only) and was extremely put off by all the coupons, rewards, and other distractions.
