journeys: Google rolls out these new Chrome features and widgets

Google has announced a new Journeys feature for Chrome browser that can help you organise your browsing history. The new feature groups the sites that you have visited based on topic or category. With the new feature, when you type a related word into your search bar and click on “Resume your research” or visit the Chrome History Journeys page, you see a list of relevant sites you visited and can quickly pick up where you left off. As per the company, Journeys will even take into account how much you’ve interacted with a site to put the most relevant information front and center.
The tech giant revealed that you can delete individual items or entire clusters of activity. You can even turn off Journeys feature completely. As of now, the feature only groups history on your device and nothing is saved to your Google account. Journeys is rolling out to Chrome desktop on all operating systems in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese and Turkish.
New Chrome Actions
Apart from the Journeys feature, the tech giant is also adding new Chrome Actions that can help you get more things done directly from the address bar. You can save time with an Action by typing its title. The Chrome address bar also predicts when you could benefit from a Chrome Action based on the words that have been typed. Some of new Actions include – View your Chrome history, Manage accessibility settings, Share this tab, Play Chrome Dino game, and others.
New widgets for Android smartphones
With the new Chrome widgets for Android, you can quickly start a text search, voice search, Lens search or open an Incognito tab right from your homescreen. There’s even a shortcut to play the Chrome dino game, even if you’re online. Or, if you really love the dino game, there’s a widget dedicated just to our prehistoric friend. Rolling out now, to get the Chrome widget for Android, long press the Chrome icon then select “widgets.”
