Google could add 'Circle to Search' variant to Chrome for desktop: All you need to know
The Circle to Search feature by Google has sparked considerable interest lately. This functionality enables users to trigger searches by circling content directly on their screens and has already been integrated into select Pixel and Galaxy devices. Now, it seems like Google Chrome for desktop could soon offer a similar search experience.
Let’s delve into the details

The X user also mentioned that this feature will likely be Chrome’s version of “Circle to Search”.
Integrating an animation into the Lens UI within Chrome might seem like a minor tweak, but its impact on user experience could be substantial. This enhancement has the potential to make your browsing experience more seamless.
Unfortunately, no more details about this feature are currently available.
In related news, it was recently reported that Google is gearing up to introduce a useful new feature for Circle to Search, which will likely enable Pixel users to effortlessly capture and share specific sections of their screen as images. It is expected to simplify the process of sharing on-screen visuals. Users will no longer need to capture full-screen screenshots and then edit them to share only the relevant portion.
This screenshot control offered by the Circle to Search could become a time-saving and user-friendly addition for swiftly sharing app interfaces, documents, images, and other screen segments among Pixel devices. Once the update is available, when you draw a circle around a section of your screen using Circle to Search, you’ll likely notice new options such as “Copy image” and “Share image” popping up.
