Google Chrome for desktop could get Gemini integration soon
- blackeyeblitzar 3y agoIt looks like Google is going to push its AI products directly onto its users by tying their AI service to Chrome. This seems like a bundling change similar to how Microsoft is forcing Copilot onto users via a keyboard key, various Windows integrations, etc. How do people feel about this? To me this type of bundling of new products hurts competition, and products from smaller companies won't have a fair shot at competing for users. On the other hand, this creates convenience. And Google's implementation at least requires "@gemini" before the query in the search bar. But I also think we're going through the same issue that surrounded Microsoft and browser choice previously. Should all these companies be forced to ask customers to choose default AI products from a randomized list or be forced to unbundle their AI products?
