New Chrome 121 introduces AI-powered tab organizer, theme maker, and writing assistant

Google has launched Google Chrome 121 (only available to U.S. for now) incorporating new generative AI features, including a new "Tab Organizer" tool which automatically suggests tab groups based on the open tabs, allowing users to manage multiple tasks simultaneously. Users can activate it by selecting the "Organize tabs" option in the top-left corner on Windows or right on macOS.

The new version also includes a Theme Maker, which uses a text-to-image diffusion model previously used for generative AI wallpapers on Pixel and Android. This allows users to create custom themes for the New Tab Page based on various parameters such as subject, mood, visual style, and color. The feature can be accessed through the "Customize Chrome" side panel, click "Change theme," and then select "Create with AI."

Lastly, the company will also introduce a "Help me write" feature for writing assistance, where users can adjust the length and tone of the suggested content, similar to Aria, the Opera AI assistant, or Microsoft Copilot in Microsoft Edge.

Great list, but didn't specify what each one is equivalent to on the Mac. For me, finding Typora.io was a revelation since it is the closest to Bear Notes that I've found so far.

Interesting list, mixing libre software with closed freemium.

Thanks for putting a light on Oni :)

If you prefer KDE integration:

  • Gparted has got a KDE fork, called KDE partition manager.
  • Qbittorrent > Transmission,
  • Kdenlive > DaVinci Resolve imo
  • Konsole if you like single terminal with a nice looking translucent blur (i use terminator or Tmux to get split terminals though)
  • Dolphin > Thunar on KDE w/ ffmpegthumbnails previews
  • KDE widgets for note taking if you like have them hanging on desktop
  • to edit image, try Krita it's very intuitive, lighter, nice looking and very powerful.

For mail, there's also Kontact which can does what thunderbird does and more (cal, contacts), in a KDE integrated style. For screenshots Spectacle is integrated with KDE, it's got timing options. Although flameshot is great to edit on the fly, you can edit with a almost-light editor like Krita.

And if you're not into Firefox (waterfox being outdated), try https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium instead of Google Chromium (which is bloated with spyware).

Cheers
