After the inclusion of a new feature for Google Photos and the new AI experience for advertisers in Europe, the American technology giant has just announced on its blog the arrival of three new developments based on generative AI. One focuses on browser customization, another on tab organization, and the third borrows one of Gmail’s best new features in recent months.
Last week, Google, in collaboration with Samsung, announced the inclusion of Gemini in its Galaxy S24 and the arrival on January 31. a new way to interact with your mobile: the “Circle to search” gesture. It’s almost impossible to find a week in which Google or another company doesn’t announce new features that aren’t related to artificial intelligence, and this week was no different.
Now, in Chrome version 121, you can find three important new features to improve the tech giant’s browsing experience. The first of them is dedicated to organizing tabs
And the majority of users who use this browser spend time with a large number of open tabs. Some can be organized into tab groups, but this has to be done manually, and many forget they even have this option.
Chrome 121 includes a new AI utility called tab organizer which allows them to be automatically placed in groups. What it does is group the tabs according to the central theme and the best of all is that the interface used is very intuitive. In the desktop version, AI is used to group tabs like this:
- You right-click on a tab in Chrome.
- Choose Organize Similar Tabs.
- The AI will automatically group these tabs.
For now, It is unknown if this feature will be available on Android, since Google didn’t mention anything about it; which would be of great help, since normally opening the browser on your mobile means having dozens of tabs open. Very different on PC, since, unless you use hibernation (which allows you to suspend the computer to restart it as it was with its programs open), the Chrome browser generally closes with all its tabs.

He uses a fast so that Google’s text-image model Generate a wallpaper that matches the color, subject or style. To be able to use this new Chrome feature, and as long as you have downloaded version 121, follow these steps:
- In the new and improved menu called Customize Chrome, select Change theme.
- Then click Build with AI.
- In fact, you can approach the best themes made with AI with this Google function to contemplate this new experience.

This new feature which will arrive in February will make it possible to highlight part of the written text, for example in any field of a website form, and thus, with right click on it, it can be used as fast. The next step will be to choose the length and tone, so that Google’s AI will be responsible for generating a personalized message with these parameters and thus filling in the text of a form.
