Google Chrome Working on Desktop Sharing Hub With Copy Link, QR Code, and More
May. 12, 2021Google Chrome’s omnibox is highly useful, and is a part of a lot of neatChrome tricks. Whether you’re navigating to a website, or solving quick maths questions, and more, omnibox has you covered. Now, it seems Google is working on making it even more useful for users.
In the latest version of the Google Chrome Canary channel, the browser has a new desktop sharing hub built into the omnibox. First spotted byChrome Story, the feature can be enabled via aChrome Flagand brings sharing options for websites to make it easier for users to copy links, or share the URL via a QR code, etc.
Obviously, since the feature is currently in the Canary channel, there’s no telling when or if it will make its way to the stable version of Chrome. At best, this is still a couple months out from becoming a mainstream feature in the stable Chrome channel. However, it does seem to be a useful addition to Chrome, especially for people who often find themselves sharing URLs asQR codes, or just as simple links.
