Google Chrome Releases Major Productivity Update

Google announced in mid-February 2026 a major Chrome update adding intelligent tab grouping, a built-in note-taking sidebar, and expanded Gemini AI capabilities including page summarization and action extraction. The features target productivity and enterprise users, with some AI tools reserved for Workspace and Chrome Enterprise before a broader Q2 2026 rollout. The move aims to counter Edge, Arc, and Firefox and strengthen Workspace integration.
