Chrome is the world’s most popular browser, and Google has just given its two billion users five more reasons to keep it that way.
Google Chrome is making major improvements on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android
Google has revealed performance, feature, and security enhancements for Chrome on desktop and mobile devices. Let’s break them down:
Read later
An important feature to get up to date for the first time by TechDows, Chrome is adding a Read Later feature on Windows, Mac, Linux, and Chrome OS that allows users to save web pages for, well, read later at the touch of a button. . Currently marked in Chrome Canary, users can find it by typing Chrome: // flags in the browser and looking for ‘Read later’.
Shared password support
(Through MacRumors) Google now offers Chrome support for sharing your passwords with different apps on iOS. Considering the split that many iPhone owners experience with their data stored with Google or Apple iCloud, this will create a much smoother experience for millions of Chrome users. To enable it, go to Passwords and Accounts> Autofill Passwords> Chrome.
Eyelash Shrink / Energy Saving
Chrome beta now allows users to collapse all tabs in a group when you enable the following prompt: chrome: // flags / # tab-groups-collapse. This allows you to quickly hide all tabs within a Tab Group to save space by clicking on the group name. Building on this, TechDows discovered that Google has added a new flag: ‘Tab Group Collapse Freeze’ which will instantly allow users to save battery and memory by freezing all tabs in Chrome browser. Intelligent.
The collapse of the Google Chrome tab provides easy organization and new energy efficiency
Smart shortcuts
Picked up by TheWindowsClub, Chrome will soon support smart contextual actions when using progressive web applications (PWA). For example, if you install Twitter PWA using Chrome Canary (the developer build), the browser will automatically offer Compose, check notifications, send direct messages, and explore trend options simply by right-clicking on the icon. This brings the kind of smart functionality that Android and iPhone owners have enjoyed for years pressing the app icons.
Enhanced biometric security
Discovered by 9to5Mac, Google has announced the launch of biometric support when paying by card on Android. Previously, users had to find their card, even if it had been previously saved, and enter their CVC number. Chrome will now simply use your phone’s fingerprint scanner / facial recognition technology, allowing you to skip this step. Hope this will be implemented for biometric security laptops and desktops in the future.
Combine all of these additions with Google’s new disk to make Chrome more agile, as well as Chrome OS’s renewed assault on Windows, and browser wars are raging once again.
