Spotted by sites like WindowsLatest and X (formerly Twitter) user @Leopeva64, Chrome’s Canary build — Google’s testing version for experimental web features — includes a new option called “Contextual tasks.” It can be enabled using hidden flags within Chrome’s settings. Once turned on, it adds a new entry under the “More Tools” menu.
When activated, the feature opens a sidebar panel, though it’s currently broken and only displays a partially rendered interface. Despite this, it strongly resembles Microsoft Edge’s Copilot sidebar from 2023, suggesting both aim to achieve the same goal — embedding AI assistance directly into the browser.
