Google offers users in India a number of Chrome’s newest AI capabilities, such as Gemini. These capabilities, which are based on the company’s most recent Gemini 3.1 model, are designed to make it easier for users to get and comprehend information faster and more effectively without having to switch between tabs.
Additionally, Hindi, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Telugu, and Tamil are among the Indic languages that Google is supporting as part of this expansion. Desktop and iOS will be the first platforms to provide these features.
With Gemini integrated into Chrome, using AI to browse the web and obtain information becomes “more intuitive, secure, and helpful, and for users to have more proactive and intelligent experiences,” according to Charmaine Dsilva, director of product management for Chrome. Notably, India is one of the first markets to receive this experience after the US (which launched in September), along with Canada and New Zealand.
How Google’s “Gemini in Chrome” work
Chatting with the browsing helper without moving tabs is one of Gemini’s best uses in Chrome. Without having to switch tabs, Gemini in Chrome allows users to multitask and quickly get support with whatever they’re working on. A side window appears on the right side of the current tab when users click the “Ask Gemini” symbol in the upper right corner.
Chrome’s built-in AI can do things like ask Gemini to “find suitable case for Pixel 9 Pro XL on Amazon,” condense long online content, like a press release, and even recall pages users have already visited.
Gemini in Chrome: First Impressions
If you frequently use Gemini, you’ve probably experienced the “tab-switching” issue: finishing one job here only to discover that you need to go to another tab for the next. As previously said, we tried using “Ask Gemini” to find a Pixel 9 Pro XL cover. 
We stated, “Search for Pixel 9 Pro cases,” and Gemini gave a brief analysis:
- The Best Value: At below 71,000 on Flipkart, the Caseology Nano Pop (by Spigen) is a great deal. It has a stellar 4.7-star rating and is “Flipkart Assured,” which means it ships promptly and has passed quality checks.
- The Most Durable: The Ringke Onyx is well known for its ability to withstand drops.military-grade protection with a “sandstone” grip. On Amazon, it is often available for next-day shipping.
- The Clean Look: DailyObjects is a transparent shockproof case that gives strong protection without compromising the phone’s natural look.
Note: These platforms’ prices change every day. A great deal of Spigen-branded cases, such as Liquid Air, presently cost somewhat more than 71,500, but its sub-brands, such as Caseology and Cyrill, are well within your price range.
After that, we limited down our search to “Pls check the one that is being delivered the fastest,” and it produced some results.
To further test the efficacy of the AI function, we stated, “Find a case that is priced under Rs 1500, delivers fast and has 4+ reviews on Amazon and Flipkart.” It replied with a message and a few options:
“These are the top solutions currently available based on your Rs 1,500 budget and the requirement for excellent reviews and quick delivery. Given that you are in Noida, Amazon normally provides the quickest response (usually the following day), but Flipkart Assured products typically take two to three days. 
Additionally, Gemini offered a “Quick Recommendation” that included the opportunity to locate a certain kind of case.
If you need the case right away, I suggest looking for any “Prime” or “Next Day” shipping tags on Amazon India first. Would you like me to locate a certain kind of case that can be delivered the following day, such as transparent, leather, or rugged?
This is due to Chrome’s extensive integration with well-known programs, like as Gmail, Maps, Calendar, YouTube, and more, which enables users to quickly do activities like making plans on their calendar, seeing location information from Maps, and posing queries regarding YouTube films. By simply accessing the side panel and requesting to send an email, users of Gmail may create and send emails without ever leaving their current page.
Gemini in Chrome can edit photos with Nano Banana 2 and operate across many tabs.

Also, Google integrated Nano Banana 2 straight into Chrome, allowing users to edit photos while on the go. Users may put a prompt in the side panel to describe what they’re trying to do, just like with the Gemini AI chatbot. Without requiring you to upload files or open a new tab, Nano Banana 2 comprehends the instruction and modifies the image.
In response to a security-related query, Dsilva stated that Gemini in Chrome was created with security in mind from the beginning.
To keep customers secure while they browse, we’ve trained our algorithms to identify known risks like prompt injection. Google said, “We’ve also built safeguards to ask for confirmation before taking certain sensitive actions, like sending an email or adding an event to your calendar.”
Google claims that it improves security through automatic red-teaming, and Chrome’s auto-update capability enables it to release updates fast.
