According to technology website HowToGeek, technology giant Google (USA) is about to deploy a basic feature that is missing on the Chrome browser.

Users of devices running the Android operating system may soon experience a long-missing feature on the Chrome browser: the bookmarks bar.

Chrome is one of the most popular Internet browsers in the world today. The lack of a bookmarks bar has always been a major drawback of Chrome on Android, especially for tablet users.

Rival browsers like Vivaldi and Safari on iPad tablets have had this feature for a long time. For its part, Google has been quite slow in responding to user demand.

The bookmarks bar helps users quickly access their favorite websites with just one click, improving work and browsing efficiency. The addition of this feature is expected to bring a more convenient experience to Chrome users on the Android operating system.

It's unclear at this point what display options Google will offer for the bookmarks bar, whether Chrome support will be available on iPad, and when it will be officially "revealed." However, this is welcome news for those who love the Chrome browser and want a consistent experience across all devices.

The US government has asked a judge to order Google to sell its Chrome browser. In court filings, the US Justice Department called for reforms to Google's business practices, including banning agreements that allow Google to be the default search engine on smartphones and preventing exploitation of the Android mobile operating system.

US antitrust officials say they may even require Google to sell its Android operating system if remedies don't prevent the tech giant from using its control of the mobile operating system to its advantage.

The proposal marks a significant shift by US regulators, who have given tech giants a free hand since failing to break up Microsoft two decades ago.

Meanwhile, Mr. Kent Walker, President of Global Affairs at Google, said: "The department's approach would result in unprecedented government intervention, harming American consumers, developers and small businesses, and putting America's global economic and technological leadership at risk."

Mr. Walker said Google will make recommendations in a filing, expected to be filed in December 2024 and will argue at a hearing in April 2025 before District Court Judge Amit Mehta./.
