As mentioned earlier, Google is developing a new Tab Search feature for the Chrome web browser. This will allow you to search for open tabs directly from the browser window, as shown in the screenshot below.

Once activated, it will add a search field to the tab row, granting you access to the search box. You can easily access the search box by mouse or using the shortcut Ctrl + Shift + E.
Furthermore, for Windows 10, Google Chrome developers also plan to enhance antivirus integration, potentially allowing Chrome to seamlessly interact with third-party antivirus software on your Windows PC.

Google notes that Windows 10 antivirus programs and other scanning tools may quickly lock new files. This approach can lead to frequent issues when you bookmark pages and other files using Chrome. Chrome's latest improvement may address this problem by attempting the ReplaceFile step several times.
Additionally, a new feature called Actionable Address Bar has been deployed on Chrome 87 across all operating systems including Windows 10, enabling users to perform specific actions within the browser. For example, you can type Clear browsing data to delete your browsing data (cache, cookies, history...) or Edit passwords to manage saved passwords.
You can activate this feature manually with the following steps:
- Open the Chrome://flags. menu.
- Search for Omnibox suggestion button row or Omnibox Pedal Suggestions.
- Enable the flag and restart the browser.
Once this feature is incorporated into the Chromium open-source project, other browsers like Microsoft Edge, Brave Browser, and more may also add the Actionable Address Bar to their address bars in future updates.
