As we all know, Google Chrome is right now the most used and best web browser for desktop, Android, and iOS. Compared to all other web browsers, Google Chrome offers more features and options. On Techviral, we have shared lots of articles on Google Chrome.

The web browser also offers security features like enhanced safe browsing, safety check, and more. Recently, we spotted another new feature in Google Chrome for Android that lets users ‘preview’ hyperlinked webpages. It’s indeed a great feature since it shows you the preview of a webpage without opening them in a new tab.

The new feature has just started to roll out, and it’s a part of a server-side update. That means that not all users would receive the new feature on their Chrome for Android now. It might take more weeks to reach every device.
