Google updates Chrome Beta for Android

Google adds new features to its Chrome Beta app for Android with a quicker way to save your bookmarks on your homescreen. You just need to tap on the three-dot menu and you’ll find an “Add to homescreen” option. What’s cool about this feature is it opens your favorite sites in their own apps inside Android’s app switcher.

The “New Tab Page” has also been updated to look similar to the Chrome desktop version with a Search bar in the middle and your most visited sites are displayed at the bottom. Google is rolling out these new features at the moment and you can try it out for yourself through this link.
