The latest major update to Chrome Mobile introduced a grid layout for tabs and the ability to group them together. A minor addition of Chrome on Android today allows you to preview a page before opening it fully.
The context menu that appears when the links are pressed for a long time now has a “Preview page” option. Appearing between “Open in incognito tab” and “Copy link address”, the touch slides up on a page of the page in question that covers most of the screen, but cannot be expanded further.
An upper bar includes the website’s favicon, page name and domain, as well as a button to open in an appropriate window (as part of groups). You can close it in the upper right corner ‘x’ or by sliding down on the pull tab.
This addition is surprisingly useful for some users, especially considering how the tabs are opened today. This gives you the chance to decide if it is worth committing to a group and makes you more discerning about managing open pages / queues.
The new “watch page” feature is being released in Chrome 89 for Android through a server-side update tonight. Google has been working on this feature for over two years and is now ready for prime time on the stable channel.
