Now Google Chrome shares tabs to new devices that save where you were

Google is introducing updates to Chrome aimed at making multi-device research and study workflows smoother, The Verge reports. The browser’s existing feature for sending tabs between devices will now retain the exact scroll position when a tab is opened on another device, so users return to the same spot in long documents without manually searching. The update also keeps partially completed form data intact, allowing users to finish forms on a different device without re-entering information. In parallel, Google is expanding what its Gemini assistant in Chrome can analyze. According to the company’s blog post cited by The Verge, Gemini’s capabilities to summarize, visualize, and extract information are being extended to more kinds of media beyond webpages and YouTube videos, explicitly including podcasts and externally hosted videos. Google says Gemini can identify main takeaways, find specific details, and clarify confusing sections in nearly any audio or video file once it has been played through. Chrome’s Gemini integration will also be able to produce interactive quizzes based on the content currently displayed on an open tab, offering a new way to review material and test comprehension. Google is initially rolling the quiz feature out in English on desktop in the US and India, with plans to expand to additional regions and to mobile devices in the coming months. Together, the tab memory improvements and Gemini enhancements are billed as tools to help users get more out of educational and research content on the web. The Verge’s coverage highlights the focus on study-oriented capabilities and cross-device continuity as the main practical benefits of the new Chrome features.
