Summarizing content is probably the most used AI feature these days. Google is adding a ‘Summarize’ button to Chrome for Android so that you can quickly summarize pages.
‘Summarize’ Button for Chrome
As usual, I am waiting for this flag to appear in the Canary channel and test this out. For now, here is the new experimental flag that Google is goign to use to test this feature:
Adaptive button in top toolbar – Page Summary – Enables a summary button in the top toolbar. Must be selected in Settings > Toolbar Shortcut.
AI page summarization needs to no intruction at this point. Having a built-in option in your browser, however, is of course useful. Imagine landing on a long article reviewing a new phone. You could use the page summary option to get the gist of what the reviewer is trying to say.
It is not clear if Google is going to use Gemini to run this feature. I will update this article if I find any hints of Gemini when I start testing this feature.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on this feature. Do you think it is useful to have a summarization feature built into your browser? Let me know in the comments section below.
