We’re bringing agentic browsing in Chrome to our users in India! 🇮🇳

Looking forward to your feedback & more details in https://t.co/z9j70Pm7vF

[Chrome @googlechrome]

In case you missed it, Chrome’s three new features are here to help you make the most out of learning. @jebank, VP of Product, explains them here. 📚

[Parisa Tabriz @laparisa]

As lots of students kick off a new school year, we’re sharing some @googlechrome tips and updates to help with interactive learning, focus, & productivity:

❓ Interactive quizzes based on your tab content
✨ Gemini in Chrome to summarize & pull insights from video lectures
🤝 Cross-device tab sharing w/ saved state to pick up where you left off
⏸️ Vertical tabs, tab groups, & split view to organize your digital workspace across courses & projects
🗣️ Read aloud for listening to content on the go

We might not be able to help with procrastination, but hopefully we can make that 2AM cram session just a tiny bit smoother ;)

[Chrome @googlechrome]

From practice quizzes and media Q&As with Gemini in Chrome to picking up where you left off across devices, Chrome’s new features give you more ways to learn. 📚

Google’s latest browser updates aim to help you research complex topics. https://t.co/JwcqOK1vNe

📢 @googlechrome is moving to a 2 week release cycle! More in https://t.co/C8ZQno3u6D

Also, a short history on browser update frequency:
• 2001: MSFT shipped IE6 & didn't release a major update for 5+ YEARS! Safari updated ~annually
• 2010: Chrome commits to 6-week releases & automatic updates. (People called us crazy.)
• 2021: Chrome updates to 4-week releases. (People said it was too fast.)
• 2026: Chrome goes to 2-week releases. (Opinions TBD :)

Release early, release often for fresher features and faster fixes... especially important with AI vuln discovery! 💪

Congrats to Gemini team on their 3.8 Flash & 3.8 Flash Cyber launch! You can access our latest, most intelligent workhorse model directly from Gemini in @googlechrome starting today. 🚀🕸️✨

Fun fact: Our security tested Gemini 3.8 Flash Cyber and found it's 2.6x more effective than larger models at producing correct patches for lots (hundreds!) of dormant vulnerabilities in Chrome! 🪰💥

How do you secure an ever-evolving open source codebase with 2,300+ third-party dependencies in the AI era?

@jebank So glad to get to work with you Jacob!

[Jacob Bank @jebank]

Update: I have a new job and I’m very excited about it.

I am (re)joining Google as the VP of Product for Google Chrome! Several of my colleagues from https://t.co/7vqcf9NKhR are joining the team as well :).

Let me quickly explain why we’re so excited to work on Chrome.

I’ve spent my whole career doing one thing: building tools that help people get more done with AI, without sacrificing their personal creativity or insights. And joining the Chrome team is an ideal opportunity to bring those experiences to many, many more people. Here’s why:

1. It’s the primary workspace for productivity. Like many people, I have my Chrome browser open all day, every day. It’s personalized to exactly what I want, and I’ve got tabs open for all of my most important tools and tasks.

2. It’s an open platform for the entire web. Chrome works with every app and every site, so I can get anything done (no need to worry about what APIs / MCP servers exist).

3. It’s the perfect place to collaborate with agents. So much of my work with AI involves passing the baton back and forth until I’m happy with the output, and in Chrome I can do that right where the app is already open.

We have some really ambitious plans to help you work with AI in Chrome to get things done, and I’ll have more to share soon.

In the meantime, please send me any feedback, ideas, and bug reports!

RT @laparisa: Browser security isn't just about buffer overflows. It’s also about protecting your attention from spammy distractions! 🚫🫵🕸️…

[Jim Bankoski @jimbankoski]

Today, we’re pulling back the curtain on a three-year journey to secure push notifications in @googlechrome

Bad actors have increasingly abused these communications with malicious content like malware and scams. To fight back, we built a multi-layered defense-in-depth model with overlapping protections that ensure notifications are kept secure.

Want to review what you've allowed? You can check or update your site permissions at any time in Chrome Settings.

We (Chrome) published a big paper about security work that's important to share. It shouldn’t surprise anyone that open source software is getting hammered by AI, and people are looking for bugs: for bounties, for hacking purposes, and to help, more than ever before.

[Jim Bankoski @jimbankoski]

Over 13 years. That’s how long a single sandbox escape bug quietly survived in our codebase. 🤯
It’s a reminder of the realities of global-scale software. But how we find and fix vulnerabilities is changing fast. Here's how 👇 🧵

[Google Gemini @GeminiApp]

Gemini Spark 🤝 @GoogleChrome

Gemini Spark is now integrated with auto browse in Google Chrome. With your permission, Spark can handle web tasks for you right in your Chrome browser, like scheduling apartment viewings or auto-filling flight info.

1000+ fixes later (including one teenage bug!), here's how @googlechrome is using AI across the software bug lifecycle to make the web safer for billions: https://t.co/XG53MUOVVL 🔎🪰✨

[Parisa Tabriz @laparisa]

Web performance on phones is a game of milliseconds, & we're constantly looking for optimizations that make the experience faster and smoother.

Here's some performance engineering details on how we reduced scroll jank on Android by 48% (!!!) over the past 3 years: https://t.co/nZ2rgumis6 🕸️⚡ 📱#TheFastAndTheCurious
