Upgrading to Google AI Ultra broke Gemini's Chrome browsing that worked on Pro
batmanButthole · reddit · 2026-11-12
A Reddit user reports that Gemini's Chrome auto-browse worked on the Pro plan, but after upgrading to Ultra the feature stopped working, with Gemini claiming it "can't directly interact with web pages." Reloads and reboots didn't help.
The user speculates the newer models (Argon, Carbon) may match older ones (Astra, Fable) in ability but not in harness wiring — a classic pay-more-get-less experience that also hints at a messy feature matrix across Google's multi-model lineup.
