Google launched a new version of Chrome yesterday, which came with a new look and some amazing features. This marks 10 years after Google first launched its browser in 2008. The new design came with rounded shapes and tabs, a fresh color palette, and updated icons.
Google update the whole of Chrome to add this new user interface, and altering prompts, menus, and URLs in the address bar to fit the new design.
However, the new rounded tabs features are perhaps the most notable change, moving Chrome away from the trapezoid-like shaped tabs that have been available for years. The new tabs features are designed to make it easier to see at a glance, which will be useful for those who like to have far too many tabs open in their browser.
Google also made some changes to its address bar by displaying answers to results directly in the bar without opening a new tab. Some information on entertainment, sports and weather will automatically appear in the address bar and will allow the users to use the address bar to find an open tab and switch to it.
The new Chrome also is getting an updated password manager that will automatically generate and suggest a strong password for websites whenever you sign up to them. Chrome will then save this password and make it available on both desktop and mobile device.
Chrome for iOS is more so getting a significant renovating as Google is moving the toolbar to the bottom in other to make it easier to reach items in the browser.
While Google has been integrating machine learning into Chrome to detect phishing and malicious websites, the company has also plan to make Chrome faster with the of artificial intelligence.
According to a statement from Google’s vice president of product management, “When we first launched Chrome, Sundar said: ‘We think of the browser as the window to the web,’”. “A decade later, it’s still the tool people use to access all the websites and applications that help them do what they want to do. As Chrome moves into the next 10 years, we want to expand that window in other to improve the user’s experience.”
