US EditionGoogle Begins Rolling Out Chrome's "Auto Browse" AI Agent Today
- On Wednesday, Google debuted Auto Browse in the Chrome browser, adding Gemini sidebar support and Nano Banana integration starting today for U.S. AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers.
- Earlier this month, Google tapped Gemini to add AI features to Gmail and funneled that technology into Search and Chrome, while Personal Intelligence will connect Gmail, Search, YouTube and Google Photos in the coming months.
- By typing into the Gemini sidebar, Charmaine D'Silva showed Auto Browse taking over a Chrome tab with ghostly clicks, using saved credentials but pausing for user approval on sensitive steps, while Nano Banana lets users modify images found while browsing.
- Security experts warn Auto Browse is vulnerable to prompt-injection attacks on malicious websites, Google says users are responsible and browser-based agents often fail, posing reliability challenges.
- The rollout follows a judge’s decision that rejected the DOJ’s push to force Google to sell Chrome, as OpenAI and Perplexity bid $34.5 billion, but wider launch to nonpaying and international users remains unclear.
