Google has added address bar commands to chrome, making it easier for users to locate specific tabs, bookmarks, and previously visited pages, the tech giant announced in a blog post<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Users can now enter one of three shortcut commands in the address bar \u2014 @tabs, @bookmarks, and @history \u2014 to quickly navigate to specific pages.<\/p>\n

“@Tabs comes in handy when you have an explosion of tabs,” Google said.<\/p>\n

“Try it out by typing in ‘@tabs’ in the address bar, pressing the ‘search tabs’ button and then typing the title to see matching suggestions.”<\/p>\n

Similarly, selecting the “Search Bookmarks” or “Search History” options after typing their respective “@” commands will simplify finding saved and previously visited web pages.<\/p>\n

The tech giant says users can also activate their own custom address bar site shortcuts for websites that they visit often.<\/p>\n

To set up custom site shortcuts, users must go to “Manage search engines and site search” in Chrome settings.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, they can use the address bar shortcut “chrome:\/\/settings\/searchEngines”.<\/p>\n

Google started testing its “@” commands on the beta version of ChromeOS 106 in September 2022, and the feature is now available to all users on the latest Chrome version 108 for desktops.<\/p>\n
