The holiday season is upon us, which means people are looking to buy various things to gift to their loved ones. To simplify the shopping process for you (especially for all last-minute shoppers), Google has announced new shopping-focused features for Google Chrome. In a recent official blog post, Google has detailed some tips and tricks for online shoppers to finish off their holiday shopping. Here’s how Google is helping.
Track Price Drops on Chrome for Android
Starting with the first one, Google is adding a new price-drop tracker to the open-tabs grid on Chrome for Android. The tracker will show the current price alongside the original price of an item on top of a tab in the open-tabs grid of the browser.
The search with snapshot option will allow you to search for items on online websites with an image taken with Google Lens from offline stores. If you are out shopping in the market looking for gifts and find something interesting, you will be able to tap the Lens icon on the address bar in Chrome for Android to take a snapshot of the item and search for it on online platforms.
Furthermore, the company has confirmed that the feature will roll out for Chrome’s desktop version as well. You will be soon able to use an image to make a search in Chrome for Windows and Mac with the new “Search images with Google Lens” option.
Another nifty feature coming to Chrome for Windows and Mac is the shopping integration with different e-commerce websites. With the new Your cards feature, you will be able to open a new tab and see all the items you have added to shopping carts on different retailer websites.
