Google is set to make significant updates to its Chrome browser for both mobile and desktop, aiming to enhance integration and efficiency in the user experience. The latest mobile features will focus on improving the search process, while the desktop version will streamline the way users download and access files from the web.
On Chrome mobile, users will notice a new category called “Trending searches” when they visit webpages. Additionally, the search recommendations feature will be enhanced, displaying ten suggestions instead of the previous six as users type. Moreover, when users visit a webpage about a specific topic, such as the best pizza places in New York, clicking on the URL will trigger a new section called “Related to this page,” showing relevant search queries related to the content. Another exciting addition to Chrome mobile is the “Touch to Search” feature, available exclusively for Android users. This feature allows users to tap on any word in an article and use Touch to Search to explore other related topics. For instance, if the article discusses a particular neighborhood in New York, users can tap on the word to discover additional information, such as hotels in that area. Touch to Search has been available in browsers before as a way to quickly find specific words, and it now brings more convenience to the mobile Chrome experience.
