The bagel they save for the regulars. Don't skim, savour.
Summary
Google is reportedly testing a new feature in Chrome that would send user searches directly to AI Mode by default, rather than displaying traditional search results. This experiment suggests Google is exploring deeper integration of AI-powered search responses directly into the browser experience, potentially changing how users interact with search queries. The feature appears to be in early testing stages and would give users AI-generated answers as the default search experience.
