Google Now For Chrome Windows

Google has added a new feature to Google Chrome Canary that makes it easier for users to test new hidden features under development.

When Google creates a new browser feature, it is first tested in Google Chrome Canary and Google Chrome Beta. In many cases, these new features must first be enabled using an 'experiments' configuration flag before they are accessible.

Google Now cards debuted in Chrome's beta channel in early February, when the feature hit Windows, OS X and Chrome OS, the browser-based operating system that runs Chromebook laptops and desktop.

To access these experiment flags, users can go to chrome://flags in the address bar, which will open an 'Experiments' page with all the hidden Chrome features that can be enabled.

However, the 'Experiments' page contains many options that are not for user-facing features but instead internal tests conducted by the Chrome development team.

Due to this, it can get confusing to find new user-facing features that Google is actively developing.

Chrome Labs makes it easier to find new features

To make it easier for Google Chrome users to find new features that Google wants them to test and provide feedback on, Google has introduced this week a feature called 'Chrome Labs.'

When enabled, Chrome Labs will display a small beaker () on the toolbar, that when clicked, will display a menu of current experiments, or features, that are being actively developed.

The hidden features currently promoted by Chrome Labs are 'Reading List', 'Tab Scrolling', and 'Tab Search.'

Users can enable these features by clicking on the 'Default' button and changing it to 'Enabled.' Once you do so, Chrome will prompt you to restart the browser to enable the feature.

Google Chrome's Head of Design Alex Ainslie announced the new Chrome Labs feature on Twitter this week and said it is available in Google Canary and coming soon to Chrome Dev and Beta.

If you're using Canary today (and soon Dev and Beta) you'll notice a little beaker on the toolbar that makes it easier to try out new stuff and share suggestions about how it should evolve. pic.twitter.com/doPLzJbnRW

In our tests, the feature has not gone live in Google Chrome Canary as of yet, so it may still be rolling out to users.

Google Now, the search giant's powerful automated digital assistant services will now be available for Windows PCs and Macs via the Chrome internet browser. Google's Chrome team announced the update in a blog post and a tweet that was posted Monday morning.

The new update will display informative cards that appear on Android phones on the user's desktop appear as shown in the picture, offering information on weather, sports and others depending on the user's browsing and search habits.

Starting today, Google Now cards will be available to signed-in Chrome users on desktop or laptop computers.

By signing into Chrome, the Google Now feature is accessible only with the same account that one uses on their Now account on Android or iOS. The feature can be accessed through the Windows, Mac and Chrome OS versions of the browser. The new update will display informative cards that appear on Android phones on the user's desktop browser. These cards offer information about weather, sports scores and many other updates depending on the users browsing and search habits. It will also display information related to the users commuting time to home or office, provided the addresses have been saved. Users find themselves receiving useful information before they need it. The more information a user actively shares, the more personalized the experience becomes.

Notifications will appear on the lower right (in Windows) under a bell icon quite similar to the larger bell icon used in the top right of Google-based screens to indicate Google+ notifications. Users can mute notifications and access settings which allow them to select which apps/services can publish notifications.

Interestingly, the desktop and smartphone platforms work in tandem with each other. When a user is searching for some information on the desktop, it reportedly also pops up a card on the smartphone too. Cross-platform features allow users to move smoothly from their smartphones to their computers. The same applies to using a smartphone and receiving desktop notifications. Browsers who use multiple devices will need to manage the location settings for each of their devices separately. Some cards could be based on the location of the mobile device, so users should check their location settings, which can be edited at any time.

In case the user does not need any particular information, they can just dismiss the card, which helps Google understand what the user finds relevant and when. As of now the service will be available only in English, but Google plans to add other languages soon.

Those users who do not want to use Google Now on desktop, but remain signed-in, can turn it off by opening the notifications centre clicking the bell icon, on the lower right corner of the computer screen for Windows and the upper right corner for Mac PCs and deselecting Google Now within the settings.
