- The search functionality in “Chrome” may soon become switchable to a primary “AI Mode.”
- An analysis of the app files from the Android version of the “Chrome” app v152.0.7977.75 update revealed the addition of resource code regarding an “Always Show AI Mode” setting to switch to a primary “AI Mode.”
- It is expected to be a setting that switches the search functionality on the “New Tab Page” to a primary “AI Mode.”
Currently, Google Search offers both regular searches and the AI search service “AI Mode” across various platforms.
The same goes for the “Chrome” browser, where both regular searches and “AI Mode” are available. “AI Mode” is currently deployed as a secondary service alongside regular searches.
However, in the future, you may be able to switch Chrome’s search functionality to a primary “AI Mode.” We bring you the details in our original app file analysis content, “App Analysis,” from our site “Jetstream.”

As a result of analyzing the app files from the Android “Chrome” app v152.0.7977.75 update released on Thursday, September 3, 2026, we confirmed that resource code related to an “Always Show AI Mode” setting for switching to a primary “AI Mode” has been added. It is likely expected to be a setting that switches the search functionality on the “New Tab Page” to a primary “AI Mode.”

<string name="_0_resource_name_obfuscated_res_0x7f1403a3">Always Show AI Mode</string>While it is unlikely that Google will completely replace search features everywhere with “AI Mode,” specifications like “Always Show AI Mode” that allow users to optionally switch to a primary “AI Mode” are expected to be rolled out one after another in the future.
