Google Chrome new tab layout now rolling out

It was rolled out 2-3 weeks earlier I guess. Atleast thought it was then as I observed it.

I guess this is a wider rollout.

Starting in Chrome 85 (scheduled to go to stable in late August), Chrome will automatically generate a tagged PDF when you print a web page and choose the "Save as PDF" destination. A tagged PDF is one that contains extra metadata about the structure of a document, including things like headings, lists, tables, paragraphs, and image descriptions. Tagged PDFs are more accessible to users with disabilities, such as blind users who use a screen reader to access PDF files. Tagged PDFs can have other uses too, like making it easier for software that needs to automatically process and extract data from PDFs.

We think adding this metadata to PDFs is a perfect fit for Chrome, because that information is already available in well-structured, accessible web pages. We hope this helps make more content exported from Chrome to be accessible to even more users.

Google Chrome for Android will send you a notification if you haven’t used Chrome in a while.

Digging a bit deeper, we found what specifically would trigger Chrome to send one of these notifications. If you indirectly open Chrome by opening a “Chrome Custom Tab” in an app, Chrome will take that opportunity to check how long it’s been since you’ve used Chrome. Then, if you have more than one browser installed, you’ll receive a notification suggesting that you use Chrome.

• To help users identify great experiences as they browse, we are excited to announce that Chrome will begin to highlight high quality user experiences on the web, starting with the labelling of fast links via the link context menu on Chrome for Android. This change will be rolling out starting in Chrome 85 Beta.
• Labelling is currently being rolled out to Chrome 85 beta, but if you would like to try labelling today, go to chrome://flags and enable “Context menu performance info and remote hint fetching”. Once fully rolled out, users will see labelling if they have Lite mode or “Make Searches and Browsing Better” turned on. Next, navigate to any qualifying page, such as the Wikipedia page for the Internet, and long-press on any link.
