Apparently, Mimi is Chrome’s official replacement. It’s not really a browser so much as a “contextual content viewport experience,” built on a lightweight AI framework that predicts which sites you meant to visit and sometimes shows you those instead. It doesn’t support tabs (too legacy), bookmarks (too static), or URLs (too user-hostile). Instead, Mimi auto-curates your “flow.” Mimi was also designed with AR in mind. The vision deck showed it running inside “immersive micro-moments” projected through Google’s new “Lens²” frames. (We’re aware Apple just rolled out liquid glass inside their glasses, and Meta’s still pushing theirs as a lifestyle replacement for friends. Management told us Mimi is how we’ll compete in that space.) We know it’s experimental, under-featured, and a little uncanny, but leadership insisted it’s “the future of browsing.” We expect to sunset it by 2030.
