Google Chrome is making it easier to continue browsing across devices with a new feature that preserves the exact state of a webpage when a tab is sent from one device to another.
When users send a tab from a phone to a laptop or between other connected devices, Chrome can now retain their scroll position and partially completed forms. This means users can return to the same point on a long webpage instead of having to search for where they previously stopped.
On desktop, the feature is available through Chrome’s menu under “Cast, Save, and Share” and then “Send to Your Device.” Users can also add the option to the browser toolbar. On Android, the feature can be accessed through Chrome’s share menu.
Google is also expanding Gemini’s capabilities inside Chrome with new tools aimed at students and people working with digital content. Gemini can now answer questions about videos, podcasts, recordings and other audio or video files after they have been played in the browser.
Another new feature allows Gemini to generate interactive quizzes based on the content of the current tab. The quizzes can use material from sources such as Google Docs, YouTube videos and research papers, helping users review key concepts and test their understanding.
The quiz feature is rolling out in English for desktop users in the US and India, with support for additional regions and mobile devices planned in the coming months.
Chrome continues to add productivity-focused features, including tab groups, Split View, vertical or horizontal tabs, immersive reading mode and read-aloud tools.
