The gradual rollout of Gemini in Chrome continues today with a launch in the UK.
On Mac, Windows, and Chromebook Plus, you can launch Gemini in Chrome from the top-right corner of any window. This is joined by the keyboard shortcut, Mac menu bar, or Windows system tray, while you can also right-click on a page for “Ask Gemini” in the context menu.
Gemini opens as a side panel next to what you’re browsing or as a floating window. Go to Chrome Settings > AI innovations > Gemini in Chrome to customize, with Settings > Appearance > Side panel position letting you choose left or right.
Gemini in Chrome can be used to:
- “…summarize lengthy content, or compare information across multiple tabs.”
- “… integrated with popular Google apps, meaning you can schedule meetings with Calendar, check location details with Maps, draft emails with Gmail and ask questions about YouTube videos, all without leaving the page you’re on.”
- “…uses Nano Banana 2 capabilities to transform images on the web with a simple text prompt.”
After the US launch, Gemini in Chrome came to Canada, India, and New Zealand in March, with Asia Pacific following a month later. The last expansion was in June to Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East.
Gemini is coming first to desktop Chrome users in the UK, with Chrome for iOS support coming next month.
