When users will open the Search Companion, then the browser will start sending information about the current page to the companion.

The new feature will likely be present in the web browser’s recently launched sidebar menu.

It is still unclear how Google Lens will use the data, but it is expected that it will use what is on the users’ screen to understand the context of their next search, the report said.

Last month, it was reported that the tech giant was working on a new “quick delete” feature for Chrome which will allow users to erase the last 15 minutes of browsing data, on Android.
