Your Chrome Browser Just Got Three Huge Upgrades - Including a Genius Tab Split-View Mode

Chrome 145 introduces Split View, PDF annotations, and direct PDF saving to Google Drive, enhancing productivity and responding to AI browser competition.

  • Google on Thursday unveiled three productivity features—Split View, PDF annotations and Save to Google Drive—all widely available in Chrome 145 today.
  • Amid AI firms entering the browser market, Google expanded its consumer tools following Gemini AI’s integration and agentic feature rollout to Chromebook users last month, as browser wars pushed faster development.
  • A squiggle icon in Chrome's PDF Viewer opens annotation tools, and the Drive button with plus symbol saves PDFs directly to the 'Saved from Chrome' folder.
  • Following the update, Chrome users can edit PDFs and save them straight to Drive, while Split View simplifies multitasking across two webpages, reducing tab fatigue and browser switching.
  • Later this year, Chrome's UI roadmap includes vertical tabs, following last month's Gemini AI expansion and ahead of the TechCrunch event, June 23, 2026.
