Google recently announced that it’s now bringing two new features for Chrome users, which it says are designed for a more convenient and productive browsing experience. More specifically, we’re referring to Chrome’s new vertical tabs and reading mode features, which are beginning to roll out for users in select regions.
For vertical tabs, users will be able to right-click on any Chrome window and then select the “show tabs vertically” option. According to Google this gives users a bit more freedom to read full page titles and manage group tabs, making it ideal for multitasking. For reading mode, users can right-click on any page and select the “Open in reading mode” option remove other page elements, converting the page to an all-text view.
In other recent Google Chrome news, Google is looking into testing Chrome lazy loading for video and audio elements in Chrome 148, which is expected to make a significant difference when browsing media-heavy sites. Instead of fetching every video and audio file the moment a page opens, Chrome will now wait until you scroll close to them before loading them, which should provide users with a smoother browsing experience with Chrome.
