Google has recently added a new feature into its iconic Chrome internet browser, known as Chrome Actions. In the recent Chrome 87 update, Google has brought a new addition to its internet browsers to boost the productivity and efficiency of its uses while surfing the internet. This feature will reportedly convert your browser’s URL bar into a command prompt for your Chrome browser. Using it, you will be able to enter commands into the URL bar and access particular features within a short time. This will enhance your professionalism and performance during working or surfing the internet.

This feature will save you plenty of time that you invest in finding your Chrome browser’s specific tools and functions. In short, it will allow you to navigate through out the application very quickly and effectively. However, if you haven’t used it, which is obvious since you came here just to learn that, you need to learn and remember some specific commands to use this feature.

In this blog, we are going to teach you everything you need to use this feature. Bear in mind that this feature is not yet available to all users. So if you don’t see this feature in your internet browser, then don’t get frustrated. Google is currently gradually rolling out this feature to global users. However, it could take time, so if you don’t see it in your latest Chrome edition, don’t get disappointed and just wait a little more.

First of all, you have to make sure that you have the latest version of Chrome on your computer because this feature is only available on the latest version. To check If you are using the latest version, simply open your Chrome browser and then click on the three vertical dots from the top right corner. After that, select the Help button and then click on the About Google Chrome option. If you are using the latest version, you should see a small note saying that Chrome is up to date or something similar.

If your browser is outdated, it will automatically start updating itself as you navigate the About Chrome section.

Once you have updated your browser to the latest version, you should check whether you have the Chrome Actions feature or not, as it is not available to all users.

To check whether you have the Chrome Actions feature or not, you need to type a command into the URL bar. If your browser has this capability, it will display a suggestion whenever you start entering a command into the URL text box.

To do so, you have to learn using the feature. Let’s see how to use it.
