Google is finally pushing Google Now notifications to Chrome PC users after testing the feature for about two months with Chrome Beta users.
Google, the world's largest internet company, is finally prepped up to roll out its predictive digital assistant Google Now to all Chrome users. In a Google+ announcement Monday, the company said that the Google Now integration will be available to all Chrome users on desktops and laptops over the next few weeks. This brings important notifications like weather, sports scores, real-time traffic report and event reminders directly into your Chrome desktop.
Google initially started testing the feature with select Chrome beta users last month. With the availability of Google Now for all Chrome users, a sidebar within the browser will be displayed giving live updates at a glance. Google will use the search and location history to better understand user's behavior and offer personalized assistance.
For instance, Google Now will be able to calculate the time a user will take to reach his or her destination under current traffic conditions. To avoid any delay, Google will notify users to leave work a few minutes early to beat the traffic and make it to the appointment on time.
Once the feature is integrated in a Chrome browser, users can enable Google Now by signing into Chrome with the same Google account used on Android or iOS. But if the feature is still unavailable, fret not, as it is expected to take a couple of weeks to reach you. Users can turn off the Now Cards in Chrome by clicking the gear icon in the Notification Center and uncheck the box next to "Google Now," Google says. But if users choose to see location-based cards on desktop, they must enable the Location Reporting on smartphones and tablets.
Users can check for notifications on the arrival of the new feature by accessing the Chrome Notification Center by clicking the bell icon on Mac and Windows or the numbered box on Chromebook.
