Chrome Beta update makes tabs accessible everywhere, also available on Chrome for Android Beta

A new Chrome Beta update now makes open tab information available on multiple devices in different locations.

In Chrome Beta, when users are logged into Chrome, the tabs open on one device are now accessible on all their devices under the “Other devices” menu on the New Tab page.

“Imagine you’ve looked up directions to a cool new restaurant on your home computer. Later, when you’re leaving work, you realize you can’t quite remember how to get there. If only you could quickly pull up the same directions on your office computer with one click,” explained Software Engineers Nicolas Zea and Patrick Dubroy on the official Google Chrome blog.

The latest Web browser update lets users to find and open a tab containing their previously-searched directions with just a click. The navigation history is also included, so they can resume browsing right where they stopped.

“We’ll be gradually rolling out the ‘Other devices’ menu to Beta channel users over the coming week. To give it a try, download the latest Chrome Beta and sign in to Chrome,” the engineers announced.

Chrome for Android Beta also got the update.
