Chrome 开始"翻你的邮箱"帮你填表：Gemini 把 Gmail 变填单助手 浏览器自动填充走到第十年，主角仍是用户自己存的姓名地址

Chrome starts "looking through your mailbox" to help you fill in forms: Gemini turns Gmail into a form-filling assistant. Browser auto-fill is in its tenth year, and the protagonist is still the name and address saved by the user. Google Let’s try another way of playing this time: let Chrome automatically get into your Gmail, click on the form to be filled in, and hand you the order number, logistics order number, and flight booking number. At the end of October, this enhanced form-filling function driven by Gemini and Personal Intelligence was rolled out to US users in batches, covering the desktop version of Chrome and those who have enabled Gemini on iOS and Android. From "remember" to "find" In the past, browsers only filled in common fields that you had recorded in advance. The new version can extract tracking codes from shipping or order emails when you check logistics; and extract booking numbers from airline confirmation letters when checking in. The logic has changed: it no longer relies on manual saving, but real-time search of associated services based on the current task. When Chrome determines that a form is missing an item of information, the autofill menu will pop up the suggestion Gemini and mark the source. It’s up to you to decide whether to use it or not. Authorization is in hand, and privacy is controllable. The ability is based on the user's explicit authorization. Sensitive content is fully encrypted. Who can access and what is accessed is determined by the settings. Suggestions can be deleted and functions can be turned off with one click. Google also said that in the future, the browser will be required to extract the form-filling information from the Google Photos, but this time it is not online yet. Looking back at the context: In 2025, Chrome was able to read complex fields such as passport numbers and vehicle chassis numbers. In 2026, advanced form filling was moved to mobile phones and connected to Google Wallet. Nowadays, the integration of Gmail marks the transformation of automatic form filling from "information memory" to "task assistant". It saves trouble for online shoppers and business travelers, but whether the billing itinerary will be misadjusted and expired orders will be wrongly selected remains to be evaluated by real experience. via AI News (author: AI Base)
