Google announces a New Sidebar for Chrome  

GOOGLE

A few days ago, Microsoft released a new version of its browser, Microsoft Edge , with a new sidebar for all users. Now, Google has announced the same feature for its browser, Google Chrome.

Google took advantage of its publication to explain how the new feature works: after a user clicks on a search result, he will be directed to the web page. Then a Google button with the text “Open search in side panel” will appear in the address bar. Clicking on that button will open a sidebar that will show the search page that the user accessed previously. From there, the user can click on other results, which will open in the main window of that tab. They can also conduct further research if they so choose.

This feature, which is similar to Microsoft Edge’s sidebar, will be very useful for comparing various search options.

New Sidebar has arrived in Google Chrome

This isn’t Chrome’s first sidebar feature. In March, Google launched a similar feature that allows users to quickly access their reading list and favorites.
