It's clear the endgame is to cook AI into Chrome itself. Get ready for some big antitrust lawsuit that settles in 20 years when Gemini is bundled too conveniently and all the other players complain.

"that settles in 20 years "
And at that point it will be a fight mostly between AI lawyers :-)
Which will settle it quickly under the watchful AI judiciary.
Two AI agents fighting couldn't end up in an infinite loop?
More billable hours.
20 years? It's already there! https://gemini.google/overview/gemini-in-chrome/
We'll soon get Manifest V4 that, for "security reasons", somehow includes clauses banning any AI other than Gemini from using the browser.
That's too easy. It'll be more subtle. Compatibility MCP-Gemini for "security" so it slurps in more data from all the other AIs
And then a flat fee whenever anyone links-out from your proprietary, inescapable MCP backend. It's a legal free money hack!
That would suck. Is Google going to just eat all of this?
I'm not sure, all of my devices run a Firefox fork.
