Google enhances Chrome's AI Mode with split-screen link previews, eliminating the need to open new tabs when exploring source materials.

AI Mode now opens linked sources in a side-by-side panel instead of launching new tabs, keeping users in the chat interface

The feature enables users to ask follow-up questions directly about content displayed on opened pages without context switching

AI Mode, Google's left-sidebar chatbot-style search tool launched last year, continues to receive capability upgrades

Recent additions to AI Mode include outfit and decor image generation, travel plan visualization, and restaurant reservation searches
