CNET reports Google is working to bring Android's Google Now feature to the Chrome browser. This technology gives easy access to weather reports, trip departure reminders, birthday alerts, reviews of nearby restaurants, etc.
Google's Chrome team added a "skeleton for Google Now for Chrome" to the Google browser yesterday, an early step in a larger project to show Google Now notifications in Chrome.

Google Now integration into Chrome gives Google a new way to connect people closely to online services that Google judges to be relevant depending on time and location. Francois Beaufort, who keeps a close eye on the Chrome source code, spotted the move.

Google confirmed that it's working on the project but stopped short of committing to it. "We're always experimenting with new features in Chrome, so have nothing to announce at this time," spokeswoman Jessica Kositz said.
