Google is now trying to give a better design for more foldable phones and tablets. A few months ago, the company improved many of its apps to take better advantage of bigger screens. Now, it has announced improvements for Google Chrome on tablets.
Google Chrome is now getting a better design for users who usually open many tabs on their tablets. The new design has a new side-by-side design that makes finding the correct tab easier. Users can use two-finger gestures on the screen to switch back and forth between tabs. Google also added a visual tab grid design to see an overview of all the open tabs.
When users use many tabs, there’s a high chance of hitting the close button accidentally. To get a better experience, Google Chrome will hide the close button if tabs get too small. Even if you close a tab unintentionally, a simple restore action can bring back that tab. Moreover, Google Chrome will show similar views on the cover and foldable screens for foldable phones like the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and the Galaxy Z Fold 4.
Google adds drag-and-drop support for files with the next version of Google Chrome. Users can drag files out of Chrome and drop them into other Google apps, like Google Keep or Google Drive. In the new Google Chrome, users can request desktop versions of websites.
Google offers new tab groups to Android tablets. It will help users to group certain tabs for certain tasks, like shopping and comparing prices. This update should be available shortly for Samsung (and other Android) tablets via the Google Play Store.
