Top Google Chrome Mobile-Only Features You Should Try Now

Tap to Search for Instant Results: Long-press on any word or phrase to set off instant searching without leaving the current page, a handy multitasking way of getting informed while reading. Get instant definitions, translations, and contextually relevant information without manually typing out a search query. 

Lite Mode (Android Only): This enables Lite mode to compress pages to make them load faster and save a bit of mobile data. Ideal for people on slower networks or with limited data on their charts. It is essential to be aware that Google officially discontinued Chrome’s Lite mode on March 29, 2022, with the release of Chrome M100. 

On-the-Go Swiping Tab Grouping: Tabs on mobile could be grouped just like on the desktop. Just drag and drop them into groups to organize better for research, shopping, or reading. Touch and hold a tab, then pull it over another tab to create a new group automatically.

Read-Aloud with Google Assistant: Have Google Assistant read webpages aloud for you in Chrome on Android. Great for hands-free browsing when walking or multitasking. The Assistant uses expressive and natural-sounding voices for a more pleasant listening experience.

Pull-to-Refresh Gesture: Just swipe down anywhere on a webpage to refresh it instantly—a little gesture but an immense time saver. While pull-to-refresh is enabled by default in Chrome for Android, some websites might interfere with its functionality or behave unexpectedly.

Adding to the Home Screen as a Web App: Using "Add to Home Screen" in Safari, you transform a favorite website into a stand-alone app. Fast, this is an App feel. This functionality is especially apt for Progressive Web Apps (PWAs), which themselves offer an app-like experience in a browser context.

Hidden Dino Game - Offline Play: No internet? No problem! Tap the T-Rex game offline and play an endless runner that's weirdly addictive while you wait for a signal. To play, you tap the screen to jump over obstacles like cacti and pterodactyls.
