So now, just like any other student, if you are also heading back to your campus this semester. Here are five Chrome features you must try today:

1. Gemini in Chrome 

Stuck on a tricky finance problem or a concept that is just going out of your head? Gemini in Chrome can simplify it for you. With just one tap, Gemini can:

  • Break down complex topics into easy analogies

  • Create quick quizzes or flashcards

  • Generate study guides on the spot

Right now, Google AI Pro subscribers, including students, get Gemini in Chrome free for a year.

2. Easy Account Switching 

Balancing school and personal life? Chrome’s account switching keeps things separate and stress-free.

  • Your school account holds logins, assignments, and research tabs.

  • Your account saves shopping carts, concert tickets, and trip plans.

No more logging in and out or mixing up schoolwork with Netflix tabs, just switch your accounts effortlessly.

3. Audio Overviews on Android

Late for class but still need a quick refresher? Audio Overviews in Chrome can turn any webpage into a 1–2 minute summary you can listen to like a podcast.

  • Perfect for revising before an exam while walking across campus

  • Summarizes textbooks, notes, or articles into digestible audio

This AI feature is coming later this year, and it’s a game-changer for students who are always on the go and last-minute.

4. Saved Tab Groups

If you are also freaked up by opening 20+ tabs while researching, you will love the Saved Tab Groups option.

  • Organize tabs by project, subject, or deadline

  • Sync them automatically across all your devices

  • Pick up your research right where you left off, even after you have switched from laptop to phone

No more emailing links to yourself or losing track of sources, now, your entire workflow will follow you everywhere.

5. Google Lens in Chrome

When a tough physics problem or confusing passage blocks your progress, Google Lens in Chrome steps in.

  • Highlight any text, equation, or problem directly in Chrome

  • Get AI-generated step-by-step explanations and solutions

  • Search instantly without opening a new tab

It’s like having a tutor built into your browser. For homework, research, and problem-solving, Lens is an absolute lifesaver.
