Google Chrome

These AI-driven updates continue Google’s commitment to improving browsing efficiency, making it easier for users to search, shop, and rediscover content on the web.

After years of planning and testing, the tech giant announced that Chrome users will now be able to make an informed choice about allowing or blocking cookies, rather than having them disabled by default.

One of the standout features is the upgraded address bar, now allowing users to perform tasks like making calls, reading reviews, and generating directions directly from the search results.

Under the terms of the proposed settlement, which still requires approval from a California federal judge, Google will destroy or de-identify billions of records of web browsing data collected under the guise of private browsing.

This experimental feature, dubbed "Help me write," leverages cutting-edge AI models to analyze web content and offer contextually relevant suggestions for improving your writing.

Google has unveiled its list of the best Chrome extensions of 2023, showcasing a variety of tools that cater to productivity, online shopping, accessibility, and more.

The decision to offer a bottom address bar aligns with the diverse preferences of users, who may have different hand sizes and device dimensions. Google's move mirrors a similar design change introduced by Apple for its Safari browser in iOS 15.
