Ever find yourself juggling between multiple apps and browser tabs on your phone? It can be a frustrating experience, constantly switching back and forth. Google Chrome’s new minimized in-app tabs aim to solve this problem by offering a more convenient way to multitask.

Imagine you’re reading an article in a news app and come across a link to an interesting website. Normally, clicking the link would open Chrome in full screen, forcing you to close the news app. With minimized in-app tabs, Chrome presents the linked webpage as a minimized window that floats on top of your current app.

This floating window can be resized and repositioned to your liking, allowing you to glance at the webpage without completely leaving your original app. Need to focus on the webpage content? You can easily expand the window to fill the screen. Once you’re done, minimize the window again to return to your previous app.

The beauty of this feature lies in its seamless integration. No more disruptive app switching – minimized in-app tabs let you effortlessly browse the web without derailing your workflow in other apps.

Here’s the catch: this feature is only available if Chrome is your default browser on your phone. Additionally, it’s currently enabled by default, so you won’t need to tinker with any settings to use it.

So, the next time you encounter a link while using another app, keep Chrome in mind. With minimized in-app tabs, you can explore the web without sacrificing your multitasking efficiency.
