Every year Google launches its new operating system for Android users, which adds many new features and security through this update. With the arrival of Android 12, or rather iOS 14, Google began to pamper the widgets of its operating system more after having them abandoned for many years. After the new widgets for Google Maps, Google Drive, Gmail, or Google Photos, now it’s Chrome’s turn.
After all, Google has brought the new Chrome Widget for Android after a wait of eight months. Google has announced that starting today they will enable new widgets for everyone. You no longer have to turn on its experimental features to activate the two new Chrome widgets.
Here you can see these new widgets
Earlier we only had the Search Bar Widget and the Bookmarks Widget. But the latest stable version of Chrome 98 will enable two new widgets in Google’s browser. They are the famous Dinosaur widget and a new quest widget with quick actions, now adding a total of four widgets.
So we no longer have to put the mobile in airplane mode or write ‘chrome://dino’ in the address bar to launch the game that until now only appeared when we had no connection.

The second widget called “Chrome Shortcuts” is a new search widget that includes shortcuts so you can quickly perform a text search, voice search, Lens search, or open an incognito tab directly from your browser. With the new Chrome widgets for Android, you can quickly start a text search, voice search, Lens search or open an Incognito tab right from your home screen. There’s even a shortcut to play the Chrome dino game – even if you’re online. Or, if you really love the dino game, there’s a widget dedicated just to our prehistoric friend. Rolling out now, to get the Chrome widget for Android, long-press the Chrome icon then select “widgets.”
Take action directly from your address bar
A couple of years ago, Google released the new Chrome actions on its desktop version, some activation words to access certain browser options from the address bar. Well, Google has announced that these Chrome actions will soon reach more languages and our mobile devices. The Chrome address bar also predicts when you could benefit from a Chrome Action based on the words that have been typed. Some of our favorite new Actions are:
- “Manage settings”
- “Customize Chrome”
- “View your Chrome history”
- “Manage accessibility settings”
- “Share this tab”
- “Play Chrome Dino game”
Soon, look out for more Chrome Actions coming to more languages and to mobile.
