Google recently announced some new features for Chrome that will make tab management easier for users on both desktop and mobile devices. One of the new features is tab groups, which allow users to keep related pages together in custom-labeled groups. This feature is already available for Android and desktop Chrome users and will soon be rolling out to Chrome for iOS. Once updated, iPhone and iPad users can create tab groups by opening the tab grid, long-pressing on a tab, and selecting “Add Tab to New Group.” Users can then assign custom names and colors to these groups to keep them organized and easily identifiable.
In addition to tab groups, Chrome is also introducing a feature that will sync saved tab groups across multiple devices. This will allow users to access their in-progress activity and specific tabs on any device without losing any work. For example, if a user starts planning a vacation on their phone, they can group those open tabs together and sync them to their desktop account to continue their planning on a larger screen. This feature is currently available for Android and desktop Chrome users and will be coming to Chrome on iOS soon.
Another feature that Chrome is testing is the proactive suggestion of websites that were opened on other devices. This feature aims to reduce the need for users to bookmark websites by directing them to revisit specific webpages when they open a new Chrome tab on Android, iOS, and desktop. Google plans to start testing this feature in a couple of weeks, although an ETA for general availability has not been provided.
Overall, these new features from Chrome are designed to make tab management more efficient and organized for users across different devices. With tab groups, synced saved tabs, and proactive website suggestions, Chrome users will have an easier time keeping track of their browsing activities and staying organized while switching between devices. Stay tuned for more updates on when these features will be available for all users.
