Google recently updated its web browser Chrome for Android and iOS platforms with a bunch of new features including the ability to fix typos when typing in the address bar. The new feature is aimed at improving the user’s browsing experience and helping them save time.

According to Google, the Chrome address bar can now detect typos and display suggestions based on user history. Moreover, it will also suggest names of popular websites below the address bar even if you haven’t previously visited them. Clicking on these recommendations will take users to the search results page so they can easily visit the website they want to.

Chrome will also automatically complete URLs based on your past search terms when trying to find a website. Until now, the app could only autocomplete the URL if users typed them from the beginning. For example, if you want to visit Google Flights, you will have to start typing google.com followed by the page you want to visit. Now, users can simply type in ‘flights’ and Chrome will automatically complete the web address for you.

Another nifty addition is the ability to search bookmarked folders directly from the address bar. Just type in the name of the folder in the search bar and Chrome will show you websites from the collection. The tech giant said it is improving the visual layout of the Chrome address bar on the desktop, which now starts showing results as soon as you start typing.

Apart from enhancements to the Chrome search/address bar, Google also rolled out new features like a screen reader for Maps, a new magnifier feature, new customisation options for Assistant routines and more.
