Google on Thursday announced several new AI features for the Chrome browser. That includes new Google Lens functionality that works just like the Circle to Search feature Google brought to smartphones this year.
Google unveiled Circle to Search in early January as an exclusive feature for Pixel 8 and Galaxy S24 phones. Since then, more Android phones have received it, including the new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6. With Circle to Search, you can invoke Google Assistant and perform an internet search by drawing a circle on the screen.
Circle to Search can be incredibly useful. It lets you search the web for anything on your display, whether images or text. You can even pause videos to search for something you saw in them.
Google Lens will now give you similar capabilities in Chrome, in the same way that you can use Circle to Search on iPhone. Instead of drawing a circle on the screen, you'll have to press a new Lens icon in the address bar. You can also trigger it from a right-click menu or the three-dot menu.
