Google’s New Disco AI Browser Turns Your Messy Tabs Into Instant Apps

Have you ever wanted a browser that reimagines the modern web? Well, now you can use one from Google Labs called Disco. The browser is built on Chromium, the same foundation for Chrome, but it is also powered by the new Gemini 3 flagship model to make browsing more interactive. It is designed specifically for complex tasks, like trip planning or deep research, that usually result in Tab overload.

The browser’s flagship feature is called GenTabs. It uses AI to analyze your open tabs and chat history to build interactive web applications in real-time. Like if you were doing a lot of travel stuff, then it can turn flight and hotel tabs into a full trip planner with maps and a calendar. It could also create things for learning, like an interactive 3D model of a solar system, or study tools, without the user even writing a single line of code. Thankfully, the AI provides links to sources, allowing users to verify the information they receive. Always good to see companions doing that!

Disco is not a replacement for Chrome, but it is more like a discovery browser, to test ideas. It is a strategic move from Google to stay ahead as AI-native competitors that are emerging in the browser market. Google hinted that ideas for Disco could come to Chrome later on, which would change how billions of people browse.

Disco is being released as an experiment, with Google aiming to learn from the community of early adopters. It is currently starting at a small scale in macOS, with a waitlist now open for interested people.

Why do you think that Google is running this experiment first on macOS, instead of its own ChromeOS or Windows? Could it show what platform they think is the best? Are you compelled by the idea of a browser that makes interactive elements custom to your browsing? Let us know in the comments!
