Introducing Chrome Actions, a new way to navigate and take action right from Chrome's address bar

Use Chrome Actions to update your settings (and more!) in a breeze

In Chrome Browser M87, we are excited to introduce Chrome Actions! Chrome Actions are a fast and simple way to navigate or take an action right from Chrome’s address bar. This feature makes the address bar more robust and will help you get things done quickly and easily. For example, just type “delete history” or “edit passwords” and you’ll see the relevant action inline.

There are several new actions you can take directly from the address bar. Please see below for some of the actions you can take and examples of how you can activate them. Keep a lookout for more actions rolling out in future releases.

Clear Browsing Data - type ‘delete history’, ‘clear cache ‘ or ‘wipe cookies’
Manage Payment Methods - type ‘edit credit card’ or ‘update card info’
Open Incognito Window - type ‘launch incognito mode‘ or ‘incognito’
Manage Passwords - type ‘edit passwords’ or ‘update credentials’
Update Chrome - type ‘update browser’ or ‘update google chrome’
Translate Page - type ‘ translate this’ or ‘ translate this page’

Bonus update: Do you use our "Switch to tab" feature? Good news! It will now match the behavior of the newly launched Chrome Actions, making it easier to find and use.

Friendly Reminder: This update will be progressively rolling out over the coming weeks, you may not immediately see this feature available on your browser.

Best,

Rebecca on behalf of Chrome Browser
