Google Rolls Out Study-Focused Chrome Features, Including Cross-Device Tab Memory and Gemini-Powered Quizzes

Google announced that Chrome will now preserve the exact scroll position and any partially-filled form data when a tab is sent between devices. Users can transfer a page from a phone to a laptop (or vice versa) and resume reading or editing at the precise point where they left off, eliminating the need to manually locate the spot in lengthy documents. The feature is accessed via the three-dot overflow menu -> Cast, Save, and Share -> Send to Your Device, and can be added to the toolbar through Chrome’s customization options.

The Gemini integration in Chrome receives upgrades that let the AI analyze a broader range of media, including podcasts and videos hosted outside of YouTube. In addition, Gemini can now generate interactive quizzes based on the content of the active tab, covering Google Docs, research papers, YouTube videos, and other sources. The quizzes are initially available in English on desktop for users in the United States and India, with plans to expand to additional regions and mobile devices in the coming months.
