Google brings Gemini to Chrome in more countries

Google has expanded the reach of Gemini support in Chrome to more countries. According to a report by GSM Arena on Wednesday (10/6), support for the AI-based assistant is now integrated into Chrome for desktop and iOS devices across several countries in Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East.

Information from the Google Help Centre indicates that access to Gemini in Chrome is also available in Asian countries such as Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam, as well as in Palestine and Australia. However, the service is not yet available to users in the European Union.

Gemini in Chrome was launched in the United States last year, and in March 2024, the service’s reach was expanded to Canada, New Zealand, and India.

This integration enables Gemini to understand and access the Chrome tabs or windows currently being used by the user, thereby assisting users in performing various activities without having to switch pages. Gemini in Chrome is capable of summarising content, comparing information from multiple tabs simultaneously, and utilising the Nano model to generate and edit images.

Gemini in Chrome also supports integration with various Google applications to perform tasks such as scheduling meetings in Calendar, checking location details in Maps, sending emails in Gmail, and answering user queries regarding YouTube videos. All of this can be performed within the browser’s side panel, meaning users do not need to leave their active page to utilise Gemini’s support.
