Discover How Google’s Disco Browser Could Change Browsing

Google is experimenting with an AI browser called Disco that enhances web browsing with interactive applications based on user prompts, currently available for limited testing.

Google is testing a new AI-powered browser called Disco, which is built on its latest Gemini 3 model. This browser aims to change the way users interact online by introducing features that make web browsing more task-oriented and engaging. A standout feature of Disco is “GenTabs,” which takes a unique approach by transforming regular browser tabs into interactive web applications.

According to Google’s announcement, Disco analyzes users’ currently opened tabs and chat history. With this analysis, it generates interactive applications tailored to individual browsing preferences. This means users can directly influence their browsing experience by providing simple text prompts to customize how these applications function. The aim is to make the browsing experience not just more functional but also more interactive and aligned with users’ needs.

Built on the familiar Chromium framework, Disco retains the feel of traditional browsers like Google Chrome. This similarity allows users to open tabs, utilize extensions, and navigate pages in a way that feels comfortable. However, Disco’s innovative twist lies in its ability to embed AI-generated features right within the browser. This eliminates the need for any coding, allowing users to describe what they want in plain language. Once the AI produces the web app, changes in layout, design, and features can similarly be adjusted through straightforward text prompts.

An interesting aspect of Disco is that all AI-generated content comes with links to the original sources. For example, potential applications can help users create meal plans, plan trips to destinations like Japan, or assist children in learning about space.

These practical examples highlight how Disco could cater to everyday tasks, making it not just a tool for casual browsing but also a helpful assistant for various projects.

Currently, Disco is available for testing through Google Labs for macOS users, but access is limited to a select number of participants. Google acknowledges that the browser is still in its experimental phase, remarking that things may not work perfectly right away. For those interested in trying it out, joining the waitlist is necessary.
