Google has recently rolled out a significant Chrome update that aims to enhance the browsing experience by allowing users to seamlessly switch between native apps and web content without having to close their Chrome session. Here’s what you need to know about this latest update:

– The Chrome M124 update introduces a new feature called Minimized Custom Tabs, which enables users to minimize a Custom Tab into a compact, floating picture-in-picture window by simply tapping on the down button in the Chrome Custom Tabs toolbar.
– Users can easily maximize the tab by tapping on the floating window, restoring it to its original size. If you’re using an Android phone, keep an eye out for the Minimize icon in the Chrome Custom Tab toolbar.
– Google states that developers using Chrome Custom Tabs will automatically see this change reflected in this version of Chrome (M124).
– It’s important to note that this feature will only be compatible with Android apps that utilize Chrome Custom Tabs. You can identify if an app supports this feature by looking for the new down button in the top-left corner of an in-app webpage.

This update is designed to streamline your browsing experience on Android phones, making it easier and more convenient for you to navigate between web content and native apps. Stay tuned for more improvements and enhancements from Google as they continue to refine their browser experience.
