Google denies plans to make AI Mode Chrome’s default for search

TL;DR

• A recent Chrome Canary release introduced a flag to change address bar search behavior to AI Mode.


• Google VP Rajan Patel now denies that this means that the company’s planning to make AI Mode the default.


• According to Patel, the release of this feature was an error.

Anyone who’s used Google to look something up in the past couple years already knows just how aggressively Search has been trying to steer users towards its AI-powered offerings. Whether that’s just AI Overviews, or full-on AI Mode, it feels like the company’s doing all it can to direct us away from old ways of searching. Earlier today, we shared with you how Chrome appeared to be getting ready to make AI Mode its default for searches through the browser’s Omnibox. And now, Google is already shooting that theory down.
