Google has now released its new browser version, Google Chrome 96 for Android users. The company has added plenty of new features and improvements with this new browser, especially for Desktop variants.
To know more detailed information (via- Androidpolice) about this updated browser Google Chrome 96, you can check the list of these features and changes below:
Google Chrome 96 Features:
- Backward-forward cache for desktop
- Progressive web apps improvements for desktops
- Per-site dark theme option
- Accessibility site zoom
Navigating back and forth through browser buttons can sometimes feel a bit slow, especially when dealing with resource-intensive websites. Chrome 96 uses a new cache to provide a better experience for desktop users, which automatically saves the sites you have recently navigated to on your computer.
Progressive web applications (PWA) are more and more like regular applications, but there are still smaller parts that distinguish regular system applications from their web applications. On the desktop, Google has further improved this situation by providing web applications with the option to register themselves as a custom URL handler.
With this stable version, Google has added a new feature in-development feature. When you activate the chrome://flags/#darken-websites-checkbox-in-themes-setting flag, you will find a new checkbox in the overflow menu that allows you to switch Chrome custom dark theme feature of each site.
Another improvement for mobile Chrome is in the form of accessibility site zoom. However, on Android, this feature is still hidden behind the flag: chrome: flags#enable-accessibility-page-zoom.
New Improvements:
- Keep PNG Metadata: In the past, Chrome automatically cleaned up PNG files pasted from the system clipboard, which may cause unexpected behavior, especially because other browsers don’t.
- New tab Photos memories: The desktop version of Chrome 96 brings a logo that allows you to enable photo memories on the new tab page.
