Gemini in Chrome: Now Worldwide (Except EU)
10 Jun
Summary
- Gemini browser AI is now available globally, excluding Europe.
- The feature integrates with apps like Calendar, Maps, and Gmail.
- GDPR rules are the reason for the exclusion of European countries.
Google's Gemini AI feature for Chrome is now accessible in most regions across the globe, excluding Europe. This AI-powered browsing assistant offers users a personalized experience, enabling them to summarize web content and compare information efficiently between different tabs.
Further enhancing user productivity, Gemini integrates seamlessly with applications such as Calendar, Maps, and Gmail. This integration allows for the automation of everyday tasks, including the creation of email drafts and retrieval of specific location details for travel planning.
Users in newly supported regions can activate the feature by clicking the 'Ask Gemini' icon. This action opens a dedicated chat sidebar that spans across all open browser tabs. The tool also includes Google's image generator, Nano Banana 2.
However, the absence of Gemini in Chrome within Europe is attributed to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Compliance with GDPR necessitates a secure version of AI that confines user data processing within the European Union. Despite this, there are reports suggesting the feature's potential arrival in EU countries soon, possibly through Chrome Canary beta releases.
