Earlier this week, Google announced the experimental new browser “Disco” in Mountain View, California. Using the Gemini 3 model, it helps users turn cluttered tabs into actionable Web Apps, attempting to break the long-standing “reading—jumping” logic of over thirty years. This is seen as a key move for Google to safeguard internet access in the AI era.
Traditional browsers emphasize search and hyperlinks, while Disco allows users to create “projects” and drag relevant web pages into them.
Taking the official demo of planning a trip to Japan as an example, the system can automatically decompose pages introducing Kyoto attractions, hotel comparison pages, and transportation schedules into interactive maps, budget sheets, and itinerary cards, generating a unified dashboard. No coding required; users only need to provide intent and materials, and AI completes the “structured” assembly.
Unlike ChatGPT’s one-answer mode, Disco insists that each UI component links back to the original web page. Chrome Unboxed reports that this “grounded reasoning” binds the model output to the latest content, reducing hallucinations and maintaining website exposure.
Google hopes to create a virtuous cycle: humans curate tabs like curators, while AI assembles applications like engineers, achieving new collaborative effects.
Furthermore, Disco is not meant to replace Chrome but is a concept car. Google is testing the feasibility of “browsing as creation” through it, responding to the threat posed by OpenAI and Perplexity to skip web pages. Product lead Manini Roy says this is the first step in turning noise into tools.
Senior Chrome executive Parisa Tabriz also mentioned in an internal briefing:
We want to understand what the internet would look like when people no longer just bookmark tabs but directly create Apps.
Currently, Disco is only available to users aged 18 and above residing in the United States, and they must join a waitlist via the official website first. The company admits that the model may still make mistakes. Even so, the industry generally views it as a trial for future Chrome features.
This public experiment with Disco will determine whether the browser continues to serve as an information showcase or upgrades to an AI-driven software factory. Whether it can reshape the market remains to be seen; but what is certain is that in the tug-of-war between AI and web pages, Google offers a new solution to unlock content value.
