Google continues to experiment with the address bar of the Chrome browser on Android. The last test, active for some users, is the inclusion of shortcuts to the most visited web pages, just below said bar.
Google Chrome knows what pages visited more frequently, and proof of this is that they are displayed on the new tab page. Another place they now appear is under the address bar – or search, which is the same in Chrome – thus being a quick way to open any of the pages you visit the most without having to open a new one. tab beforehand.
Your favorite websites at your fingertips
There are several reasons why you can tap on the Google Chrome bar: to search, to type a web address, to change the address, to share the address with other applications … Now, in addition , you can do it for open one of the pages you visit the most.
In the last test of Google Chrome, just below the block where the current address is displayed, there is a section with Horizontal displacement where the most visited pages are viewed. The list is the same as it appears on the new tab page. You cannot edit it from its new location, but you can from the new tab page.
The shortcuts are the same that appear in a new tab
Google is activating this change as a test for some users, although it is possible force change using a Chrome flag. That is, you have to open chrome://flags in the browser and search The most visited tiles of the Omnibox, abbreviated as # omnibox-most-visited-tiles.
Tap the drop-down list to choose Enabled, restart the browser for the changes to take effect, and the next time you tap the address bar and open a web page other than Google Search, it should appear.
Likewise, if you have this test active and prefer that these accesses do not appear, you can use the same Chrome flag above to make them go away. In this case, you will need to change its value to Deactivated and restart the browser.
