Arr matey! Google Chrome be sportin' a fancy new tool to shrink them web pages and help ye scallywags do more than one thing at a time whilst sailin' the internet seas. Yarr, me hearties, hoist the Jolly Roger and give it a try!
Avast ye mateys! Google be rollin' out a new feature fer Chrome on Android called Minimized Custom Tabs. Arrr, ye see, when ye open a link, there be a downward-facing arrow next to the close button. Tappin' it shrinks the web page into a "floating picture-in-picture window" in the lower right corner of yer screen. Ye can then expand it to full screen or drag it to any spot on yer screen.In a recent post on the Chromium Blog, Google mentioned that this update be handy fer multi-taskin' across surfaces. It be similar to YouTube Premium's PiP mode. Ye be limited to only one mini window at a time, so ye can't cover the whole screen with 'em.However, ye can't see the contents of a page in the mini window, dependin' on the website. It works on certain first-party apps like Gmail and Google Search, but not on Chrome itself. This feature be supportin' Google's apps primarily. Ye can try it out by downloadin' Chrome version M124 on yer Android phone.The patch be applied to the Chromium engine, so other browsers like Microsoft Edge or Opera could introduce Custom Tabs in the future. Third-party support be up to the developers. So give it a try and see if it be a useful tool fer yer internet browsin' adventures!
