Tab Organizer
Some spring cleaning, without the fuss, is in order as a new ‘Tab Organizer’ is designed to declutter your browsing. Planning a trip or deep-diving into research? This feature, activated with a right-click, keeps your tabs tidy and your focus sharp by automatically grouping similar ones together.

Writing Helper
Sometimes it’s hard to find the right words to say, even when you’re seated behind a screen. Joining the ranks of AI text composers like ChatGPT, Bard, and Microsoft Copilot, Chrome has a new feature in the pipeline: ‘Writing Helper’. It’s intended to assist with drafting content directly in the browser, from forum posts to reviews.

Users can activate the writing assistant in-browser by right-clicking in a text box and choosing “help me write.”
Personalized AI Themes
Chrome is also introducing a way to personalize themes using AI. ‘Create with AI’, echoing the AI wallpaper experience on Android 14 and Pixel devices, allows users to design themes based on various criteria like mood or style.
