American tech giant Google has rolled out a series of innovative features for its Chrome browser, specifically designed to enhance the search experience on Android and iOS platforms. These updates, following recent introductions of "Listen to this Page" and "Minimized Custom Tabs," aim to improve functionality and user experience on smartphones and tablets.

New Features for Enhanced Browsing
In a recent blog post, Google detailed five new features now available for Chrome users on Android and iOS devices:

Chrome Actions for Local Searches: Users can now enjoy more interactive options when looking up businesses. When searching for local establishments, such as restaurants, users will see three new actionable buttons: Call, Directions, and Reviews. This feature is already available on Android and will be rolled out to iOS later this year.

Revamped Address Bar on Tablets: Following Google's Material You design principles, the address bar on tablets has been redesigned. Users can now see the current website in a drop-down menu while performing searches, making navigation more intuitive.

Improved Shortcut Suggestions: Chrome's shortcut suggestions have been refined to better match users' typing habits. This enhancement helps users navigate more efficiently to frequently visited websites.

Trending Searches for iOS: The Trending Searches feature, available on Android since 2023, is now coming to iOS. By tapping on an empty address bar, users can view a list of trending searches. Selecting any of these will display related search topics, providing a broader scope of information on popular subjects.

Live Sports Cards in Discover Feed: Google has introduced live sports cards to the Discover feed, offering real-time updates on users' favorite sports teams based on their previous searches. Users can customize these updates by accessing the three-dot menu, ensuring they receive updates tailored to their preferences.

Ongoing Efforts to Enhance User Experience
These enhancements are part of Google's ongoing efforts to make the Chrome browser more intuitive and user-friendly across various devices. By continuously updating and refining its features, Google aims to provide a seamless and efficient browsing experience for all its users.
