Google has just released a new update for Chrome on Android that brings a number of new features and improvements. One of the most important changes is that now you can easily access your bookmarks and passwords on your Android tablet. Previously, you had to open Chrome and then type in your bookmarks and passwords. Now, all you have to do is open Chrome, type in “bookmarks” into the address bar, and then press the “enter” key. Another important change in this update is that now you can easily access your history on your Android tablet. Previously, you had to open Chrome and then select “history” from the menu at the top of the screen. Now, all you have to do is open Chrome, select “history,” and then press the “enter” key.
Google Chrome’s new tablet experience wants to bring the browser a few steps closer to the experience you get on desktop, with the addition of several new features — while other additions seek to keep and improve some of its mobile aspects.
For one, the new version implements a new side-by-side design to make it easier to find the proper tab. returning to your prior tab using auto-scroll back. It’ll also hide the close button when tabs grow too small, and if you do close one on accident, one-step restore can recover it for you. And if tabs are too clumsy for you, you have a visual grid that lets you select the tab you’re looking for more easily.
One of the most important additions is tab groups. If you use them on your desktop, you’ll be glad to know that you can now use them as well on your Android tablet, so you can better organize related tabs. The browser is also gaining drag-and-drop functionality — you can now drag images and links from Chrome and move them into apps like Keep or Gmail — and set the option for Chrome to always request the desktop version of websites.
The improved version of Chrome on tablets is now rolling out, so keep an eye out for an update coming to your device over the coming days or weeks.
