For more than a year, Google has been testing access to sites without an Internet connection on mobile Chrome. Today this feature has reached the stable version of the browser and is available via an update on Google Play.
The new feature will appeal to users who have opened dozens of pages with free Wi-Fi and tolerated freezing of the smartphone just in order to save mobile traffic. Stable build of Google Chrome for Android (55.0.2883.84) saves bookmarks in one touch for offline review.
So, after the update, a button will be added to the browser menu to load the current page into memory, as well as a new item "Downloaded files". Click on the icon and a loading indicator will appear on the notification bar. A checkmark will let you know about a successful save. It will also appear next to the link if you open the site without the Internet.
Downloaded bookmarks are grouped by creation date. Opposite each of them is the total size of the files. Over time, it can become excessively large, so the developers have provided the ability to batch delete saved pages.
Also in the fresh Chrome for Android, we optimized memory consumption and improved the highlighting of spelling errors in text fields.
The 55th version of Chrome for Android is already being distributed worldwide through the Google Play directory. If you have not received the update yet, you can download the installation file here.
