Gemini Spark vs Claude's browser toolset: whose account, whose risk

Both drive a web browser, both stop before the step that cannot be undone, and their lists of stopping points are nearly the same. The difference is what each assumes about the session it runs in: one is built on the accounts you are already signed into, the other tells you to give it a browser with no credentials in it. That single assumption decides which of the two belongs anywhere near your work.

Gemini Spark takes over desktop Chrome

Google's agent can now drive the desktop version of Chrome, using accounts you are already signed in to and passwords saved in the browser. It books property viewings, prepares flight searches, and fills in forms, handing the task back to the user to finalize a payment, accept terms, or create an account. This is the same pattern that has settled in with Claude and the rest: the agent does everything up to the step that cannot be undone, and a person confirms that step.
