To be fair, if I set my default search provider in #GoogleChrome to #GoogleSearch it will give me a button for #GoogleLens in the address bar when looking at #GooglePhotos, so #GoogleGemini was right about that. Thanks, #Google.

I tried asking #GoogleGemini how I could use #GoogleLens while looking at #GooglePhotos in #GoogleChrome.

It gave me four rounds of instructions that didn't match up with the actual current interfaces or menu options before finally suggesting that I just open two windows and drag the photo from one to the other.

Have I previously complained about how stupid it is that #GoogleLens doesn't work in the web version of #GooglePhotos, or even the built-in #GoogleChrome interface for #GoogleGemini? The one place I commonly want to use #AI, they won't give it to me.

Google Chrome: Völlig neue Omnibox kommt - Loom könnte Google-App für Windows ersetzen (Canary-Flag)

Der Browser Google Chrome bietet den Nutzern eine ständig verfügbare Google-Suchleiste, die sowohl in der Adressleiste als auch auf der Startseite eines neuen Tabs zu finden ist. Jetzt zeigt sich im Rahmen eines Experiments eine neue Positionierung, die die Reichweite noch einmal deutlich vergrößern soll: Mit Omnibox Loom soll eine globale Suchleiste geschaffen werden – ähnlich wie die der Google-App für Windows.
