Google’s New Disco Browser Opens Tabs Like It’s Your Forgetful Friend

KEY POINTS

•The Chrome team at Google recently unveiled a new browser called Disco, designed to build custom apps based on user prompts.
•Disco uses a concept named GenTabs to open multiple related tabs automatically while creating an app tailored for tasks like travel planning or study aid.
•This browser and feature are launching today as experimental projects within Google’s Search Labs to gauge potential future usage.

Google’s Chrome team apparently decided the browser world needed more chaos and launched Disco, a browser that builds a custom app for you based on your prompt while simultaneously opening a smorgasbord of related tabs you might not want. Dubbed GenTabs, because apparently 'tabocalypse' was unavailable, Disco sneakily launched in Google’s Search Labs—where experimental products go to live or die—and promises travel planners or flashcard systems just by Googling your vague request. The name 'Disco' nods to 'discovery' and maybe also a glitter ball of tab overload. For now, it’s an experiment but brace yourself: your browser is about to get distracted on a new level.
