Kimi.ai (@Kimi_Moonshot) launched the Kimi Browser Extension (formerly Kimi WebBridge): chat with Kimi in a browser sidebar to navigate sites, fill forms, and finish tasks. Record repetitive steps once as a Skill and let Kimi replay them next time. Available now at kimi.com/products/kimi-browser-extension and the Chrome Web Store.

OpenAI engineer James Sun announced that the ChatGPT desktop app’s in-app browser (IAB) now supports Chrome extensions. Users can install, pin, and use everyday extensions such as 1Password while working inside ChatGPT. Enterprise admins can centrally deploy and manage extensions to meet security requirements. The update strengthens ChatGPT desktop as a workstation and cuts context-switching between a separate browser and the assistant.

Cline released a Marketplace plugin named jev-browser that gives TypeSafe Jev a background Chrome inside Cline Desktop. After installing and saving a Vercel AI Gateway API key, browser tasks can launch Chrome in the background; the team says results have been striking.

TechCrunch reports startup Abliteration.ai turned the long-standing open-source abliteration technique (orthogonalization that removes refusal tendencies) into a hosted browser/API service, including an abliterated build of Z.ai's recent open-weight GLM-5.3. The company says it targets "offensive cyber, red-teaming, and agent testing work other models refuse to do." TechCrunch created a free account and says the abliterated GLM-5.3 complied with requests for a Chrome password-stealer script and a protocol for culturing a dangerous human pathogen at home. The platform offers a customer-side moderation layer and keeps some limits (e.g. suicide instructions in testing) but has no full KYC beyond logging the payment card. Safety researchers (including CivAI) warn scaled access could enable harm; some red-teamers say they still rely more on fine-tuning open models and that abliteration can reduce capability.

Google DeepMind launched Gemini 3.8 Flash and a security-specialized 3.8 Flash Cyber. Flash is Google’s most intelligent Flash yet, with gains over 3.7 Flash on software engineering, agentic tasks, and multi-step reasoning; Flash Cyber targets vulnerability detection and autonomous patching, producing 2.6x more valid fixes in Chrome codebase tests.

Google DeepMind launched Gemini 3.8 Flash, its most intelligent workhorse yet, and 3.8 Flash Cyber for defensive cybersecurity. Flash improves software engineering, agentic tasks, and multi-step reasoning over 3.7 Flash, with a native video-plus-coding loop in Antigravity. Flash Cyber leads on autonomous vulnerability detection and patching, producing 2.6× more valid Chrome fixes than top commercial models.

Google DeepMind launched Gemini 3.8 Flash and a dedicated cybersecurity sibling, 3.8 Flash Cyber. 3.8 Flash is Google’s most intelligent Flash yet, with large gains over 3.7 Flash in software engineering, agentic tasks, and multi-step reasoning, rolling out in Antigravity, the Gemini API, and Gemini App. Flash Cyber leads CyberGym and produced 2.6x more valid fixes on Chrome codebases, with trusted access via the Fairwind Program.

Nous Research shipped real-profile browsing for Hermes Agent, allowing users to optionally grant the agent access to a managed copy of their logged-in Chrome profile for authenticated workflow execution.

Anthropic announced that Claude now features a built-in browser inside Cowork. When a task touches a website, a side-panel browser opens so Claude can navigate, fill forms, and finish workflows in an isolated environment. Concurrently, Claude in Chrome is generally available across all paid plans.
