Gemini in Chrome for Mac and Windows will no longer require an AI Pro or AI Ultra subscription, while Google today also announced a number of upgrades.
Google sees Gemini and other AI features in Chrome as “fundamentally changing the nature of browsing” by “moving from a passive experience to a more proactive and intelligent one.”
It’s about creating a browser that goes beyond rendering the web, to one that understands it, helps you be more productive, and keeps you safer online.
Meanwhile, Rick Osterloh (SVP of Platforms & Devices) said:
“We’re using the world’s leading models to transform so many of our products, and Chrome is a great place to see our vision come to life for billions of people. We are evolving the browser to help you get the most from the web – in ways we didn’t think possible even a few years ago. And we are doing it while keeping the speed, simplicity and safety of Chrome that so many people love.”
Following the initial launch at I/O 2025 in May, Gemini is rolling out to all Chrome for Windows and Mac users in the US (set to English) starting today. It’s also coming to Google Workspace customers with enterprise-grade data protections and controls.
