Gemini 'Summarize Page' Rolls Out in Chrome for Android

A floating window delivers follow-ups plus read‑aloud, powered by Gemini 2.5 Flash.

Overview

  • The new Summarize page shortcut is now appearing in both stable and beta builds of Chrome for Android.
  • The option sits above the Gemini input bar and is available in regular tabs as well as Chrome Custom Tabs across Discover, Search results, and the Google News app.
  • Tapping the shortcut generates an on-screen summary in a floating pane that can be expanded, queried with follow-up questions, or played via text-to-speech.
  • Reporters note that overlay summaries run on Gemini 2.5 Flash even when 2.5 Pro is selected in the main Gemini app.
  • This integration replaces the previous need to paste links or use Google Assistant, extending a similar capability that reached Chrome on Mac and Windows last month.
