Google Chrome search history has become more understandable

Google Chrome has added a small but important update to search history in an effort to improve user experience. This update makes search history more understandable by showing that the sites visited came through third-party applications. Now Chrome users will be able to more clearly understand why certain sites appear in their history.

With the new feature added to Chrome search history, it will now be indicated that the sites visited come from third-party applications.

This new feature of Google Chrome indicates which third-party applications the visited sites were opened through. For example, if a site was visited through an application such as Google App or Google News, this is clearly shown in the search history. This small but effective update makes browsing history more understandable, especially on shared devices.

I think this is new. Google Chrome history now tells you if a site was visited via a 3rd party app, like Google App or Google News. Neat.

Artem Russakovskii highlighted this update in a post on the X platform. In Russakovskii’s post, “Google Chrome history now tells you whether a site was visited via a third-party application, for example Google App or Google News. Beautiful.” statements were included. This post also thanks Hamzah Malik for noticing this change.

This update helps users better understand the sites they visit. They will now be able to see which applications lead to which sites, without any confusion about how to reach a site. Especially on shared devices, this feature provides relief in terms of privacy and security by allowing users to more clearly understand the source of visited sites.

As more apps choose to keep users on their own platforms, this feature from Chrome makes users’ search history more understandable. Thanks to this update, users will be able to more easily detect sites from third-party applications when they look at their search history in Chrome.

This new search history update for Google Chrome is a small but important step towards improving the user experience. Have you noticed this update too? Don’t forget to share your thoughts about the new feature with us in the comments section below!
