Now Google Chrome shares tabs to new devices that save where you were

Google has introduced three new Chrome features aimed at enhancing study and productivity for users. The most significant update allows the browser to save the scroll position and partially filled-in forms when sending tabs between devices. This means if a user is halfway through a lengthy document, such as a 50-page paper on behavioral economics, they can send the tab to their mobile device during a commute and resume reading exactly where they left off.

On desktop, users can access this feature by clicking on the three-dot overflow menu (Cast, Save, and Share) and selecting "Send to Your Device." A shortcut can also be added to the toolbar from the Customize Chrome option on the New Tab Page. In Chrome for Android, users can open the share menu to access the carousel of options.

Another noteworthy addition is Gemini, Google's AI-powered tool integrated into Chrome. It now has the capability to analyze various media types, including videos, podcasts, recordings, and more, not just those found on YouTube. Gemini can identify key takeaways, find specific information, and clarify confusing moments within these media files.

Furthermore, Gemini can generate interactive quizzes based on the content of a current tab. This feature works with a wide range of content, such as Google Docs, YouTube videos, research papers, and more. It highlights core concepts, aiding users in understanding the material better. Currently, this feature is available in English for users in the US and India on desktop, with plans to expand to more regions and mobile devices in the coming months.

Google also highlights other existing tools in Chrome, such as vertical or horizontal tabs, Split View, and tab groups. Additionally, existing features like immersive reading mode and read aloud remain available. Users can find more details on 9to5Google's YouTube channel.
