New capabilities include answering questions with sourced web information via a partnership with Exa, suggesting and grouping related tabs (plus closing duplicates), and showing visual previews of browsing history to help users find pages they remember visually but not by name. Smart Window evolved from an earlier concept called 'AI Window' launched last November, based on beta user feedback showing people using it for everyday task continuity rather than just chat. The feature remains optional, with user controls over what browsing context is shared and which AI model is used. It is currently in beta, available only in English in the U.S. and Canada, with future plans to surface browsing journeys and auto-fill forms using relevant browsing context. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
