Chrome Sidebar Search Makes Your Browser Really Powerful

UPDATE NOW!

Chrome Sidebar Search:

Chrome Sidebar Search – Google Chrome has a new sidebar that should make it faster and easier to check out a bunch of search results in a row without having to bounce back and forth between the search page and whatever websites it links to. Google also says that it’s bringing its price tracking feature to desktop after a few months of it being available on mobile versions of the browser.

Chrome Sidebar Search – How to Access It?:

Google’s blog post explains how to access the new sidebar: after you click on a search result, you’ll be taken to the webpage, and a little Google logo will pop up in your address bar. Clicking that button opens the sidebar that shows you results for the search you did to get to the page (though you can search for something new if you like). From there, you can click on results, which will open in the main window of the tab.

This isn’t Chrome’s first sidebar. Earlier this year, Google rolled out a new feature that let you get at your reading list and bookmarks from a slide-out pane. The search feature shows up in the same area and even highlights the sidebar button. The feature is also similar to Edge’s sidebar, though Microsoft’s version has a lot more functionality packed inside and acts more like a separate mini-browser than a control pane for loading search results in the main window.

Conclusion:

Google also announced that Chrome will be getting a built-in price tracking feature that will send you emails whenever a certain product gets cheaper. In theory, a “Track price” button should show up whenever you visit a store page and are signed in to the browser — though, I couldn’t get it to show up in either the current version of Chrome or the beta branch. The feature has been in the works for a bit. Google announced it as part of a big shopping push last month.
