Chrome recently rolled out four new features that improve research and privacy online. Learn how to access these features and exactly what they do.
1. Journeys –
This is a feature aimed at helping users resume where they last stopped on a search. The Journeys feature organises searches and pages that you have visited. Then, the AI reads them and suggests what you can check next. To access it:
- Enter a topic you want to resume researching in the address bar
- Click the “Resume your journey” to choose the option.

2. Privacy Tour –
With several privacy measures being put in place, it is easy to miss some settings or mess up others because of not understanding their purpose. The privacy tour will take care of the knowledge gap. To access it:
- Click “More” (or the three horizontal dots) from the top right and select “Settings”
- Click “Privacy and Security”
- Click “Privacy Guide.”
3. Extensions –
Extensions make it easier to unleash the power of software integrations and Chrome as gotten an Extensions Starter Kit that makes it easier to find necessary tools. To access it:
- Go to the Extension Starter Kit page on Chrome Web Store
- Choose any extension you want and click “Add to Chrome.”
4. Find on page –
This is likely not a new function for seasoned online researchers. You can use the find word or phrase tool to skip the stress of scrolling through an entire page. To access it:
- Click “More” (or the three horizontal dots) from the top right and select “Find”
- Enter a word or phrase in the find bar and press Enter
- Your word or phrase will be highlighted and easier to find
- (You can use the Ctrl + F keyboard shortcut to skip the first step).
