What Changed
Google has updated its Chrome AI Mode with new features that enable users to explore the web more efficiently. The key changes include: * Opening webpages side-by-side with AI Mode, allowing users to maintain context and ask follow-up questions * Searching across recent tabs, enabling users to add multiple tabs, images, or files to their search query * Access to powerful tools like Canvas and image creation through the new plus menu in Chrome
