Google has cooked up some nice features for its Chrome web browser for Android. All these features are about improving the search experience on mobile devices and saving your time. There are some UI and UX improvements for both smartphones and tablets.
Google Chrome update brings improved UI for Android phones and tablets
The new version of Google Chrome now offers more directly from the search bar. For example, if you're searching for a place, Chrome offers quick actions (Chrome Actions) like calling the business, getting directions, and reading its reviews. You don't need to wait for the search results page to load before taking action.
Google Chrome can take advantage of the big screens on Android tablets and large foldable phones. It now uses Material You design language. Moreover, while using the address bar (also called an omnibar), the website you visited is always visible below the drop-down, making it easier to go back to that webpage.
You can use this feature on a Galaxy tablet, like the Galaxy Tab S9 FE+, visible in our video below.
Google's web browser will also offer shortcut suggestions so you land on the websites you frequently visit. For example, you can type ‘schedules' and find a City Metro's webpage result higher up in search suggestions because the word schedules is mentioned in its description.
Chrome's Discover news feed also has a widget for sports scores. So, when your favorite sports team is playing, you can keep an eye on live scores without visiting dedicated sports apps or searching for that match on Google. Chrome Actions, shortcut suggestions, and sports scores will also be available on iPhones and iPads.
