CHROME 89-Web Browsing At Its Best

CHROME 89-Web Browsing At Its Best

Chrome OS has been around for a long time, but the necessity to integrate Chrome OS with Android phones and enable web browsing has been there in their list.

Chrome 89 has been launched on March 2nd, 2021, thus satisfying a long time need.

How does Chrome 89 help?

You can now use Chrome on your android and iOS mobile phones. The app empowers you to web browsing, search and open multiple tabs to work.

The salient features of Chrome 89

Tab Search:

A feature earlier available exclusively to Chrome OS users is now made available to all. This feature allows you to display five pages of all the pages across Windows. It is your choice which five can be shown and which has to be kept away from view. The option to shut down pages helps the browser with a lesser load.

Another feature of Chrome 89 is the Reading list that can be accessed by just clicking the Star Icon placed where the bookmark option was earlier.

Check the same place where you used to spot the bookmark options, and you will find it has been replaced by “Add to reading list '. This is an option that enables add-on to a folder specified by you. You can choose to delete the items you've read and arrange the remaining in the order you want. Such an arrangement makes your priorities easy. 


 

WebHID, WebNFC, and WEB Serial features.

These three new features allow the user to interact with the hardware in the real world.

It allows for the manufacturers to establish an easy connection with hardware that is fun and quirky. When one presses the telephony buttons, video conferencing can be enabled along with the other hardware.

The point with it is that it eliminates new software or installation of special drivers.

It’s common for many sites to disallow users interaction with them. By installing Chrome 89 usage of Web Share and Web Share Target API’s this is rendered as possible.

Phone Hub:

In case you are the owner of an Android phone and a habitual Chrome user, it's easier for you to ensure the entry of it. The Phone Hub can do this, but it has to be manually done. The idea is to view all the notifications, tabs used recently, and any other relevant information you need to seek from your phone.

Apart from this, once Chrome 89 is installed, you benefit from the following updates:


  • WebHID’s default support, 
  • Gamepads and other API's can work smoothly now
  • Many items which use logic types that are complex in the past witness easiness like never before 
  • Processes can be enabled more easily now.

One cannot call it San disadvantage, but the bad news is that Chrome cannot continue to feature in older x86 processors. In case the need arises, these ancient devices need to follow Supplemental Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (SSS3), which is a bare minimum. Such criteria would make the devices manufactured below 2005 redundant only.
