Having a feature to summarise the website would be a much better than the first two. As I constantly find myself wishing for such a feature :/
Here are some better ideas from the top of my head: - summarise an article - find information on a given topic (free-form input text) - full voice control ("click that link", "read that article", "find this") - auto-submit a captcha
we have come full circle

2. That doesn't really seem like a Chrome feature? Belongs more on Bard.
3. That seems like a Google Assistant feature too, some of that actually may work on a pixel phone, though might be nice to have on desktop too.
4. Will never happen. Google themselves have a captcha product so defeats the point.

If it works by you hover over a link and Google gets the content in the browser behind the scenes and sends it to the mothership, where it's summarized and the summary then sent back to you to be displayed by the browser, then you may be accessing the linked page using your stored credentials, which give Google access to content they wouldn't otherwise have access to.
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!
As a tab hoarder, I remember there were some attempts to implement rule-based tab organizer (using features like tab name, url, etc...) but most of them were only marginally useful for my case. I wondered if generative models make any differences here so just tried it and a bit disappointed, it's consistently returning an error with a message "Tab groups suggestions are currently unavailable". It's just launched and…
I looked in Experiments and it's not there either.
It's updated to the latest version.
Love the textarea integration. I wish Chrome could do a better job of saving "drafts" and/or backing up text somehow. Adding long content is a constant worry for me to lose it somehow to an error or accidentally closed tab.
The back button in Chrome sometimes help but I still lose long messages all the time.

Seriously, their first example seems useless to most people. Naming a tab group??? That doesn't take any time, little thought, and who does that regularly? Summarizing an article seems like something everyone else can do OK. It's a huge avenue for bias (maybe that's why it's reasonably elided) but at least it's actually useful.
It's not just naming, but grouping as well. If you have 200 tabs and don't want to spend too much time on it, this can be very helpful.

Should be doable with a local model, but there might be some trade-off here. I expect it to roll out to Pixel users first where Google has a better control.
Desktop users are not going to be happy about a surprise local model running in the background, even a small quantized one.
