Google finds new ways to keep you from ever clicking a link again

Google is deepening AI Mode in Chrome, letting users view web pages beside the chatbot and ask questions without leaving the search interface.

The feature can pull answers from websites, PDFs, open tabs, and other files, combining them with information from the wider web.

Google says the rollout starts in the US first, with more countries to follow later.

The move could keep more browsing inside Google’s AI layer and reduce referral traffic to publishers.
