Chrome makes it easier to move tabs between mobile and desktop

Long ago, it used to be possible to share your grouped tabs from Android’s Chrome app with others. That feature, which was removed for whatever reasons, is now making a comeback in improved form.

Earlier this week, Google announced that its Chrome browser would be getting some new features, and one of them is the ability to share your grouped tabs between your various devices.

For example, you could create a tab group on your phone while commuting home, then open that same tab group on your desktop PC once you’ve settled down at home. Conversely, you can have a tab group on your laptop that’s also accessible on your phone while on the go.

This whole feature is automated as it keeps your tab groups in sync across your various devices. You’ll have to be logged into your Google account with sync enabled on all the devices you want it to work across.

Google also announced that it would be easier to continue browsing where you last left the browser. If you have a tab open in your browser and then switch devices, Chrome on the new device will suggest that you continue on with the same tab.

It’s a small but nifty feature that shouldn’t be overshadowed by Google’s current push to incorporate AI-powered features to Chrome.
