Opening a webpage inside an app is about to get a little bit extra nice — in some Android apps, no less than. The Chrome M124 replace provides the flexibility to open in-app webpages in picture-in-picture mode, letting you swap between the webpage and the app with out closing your looking session.
The characteristic is coming to the Android apps that use Chrome Customized Tabs, which let builders present custom-made looking experiences inside their apps. If it’s obtainable in an app you utilize, you’ll see a brand new down arrow within the top-left nook of an in-app webpage. Faucet the arrow, and the webpage will decrease right into a floating window within the bottom-right nook of the display screen. You may faucet the window to open the tab again up.
This characteristic really appears fairly useful. I can’t depend the variety of occasions I’ve needed to shut an in-app webpage to consult with one thing contained in the app, solely to lose no matter I used to be taking a look at. The characteristic is simply obtainable in apps that use Chrome-based cellular browsers for now, however hopefully others will observe go well with.
