Google Introduced Chrome Actions way back in 2020, and it first made its appearance on Google Chrome for desktop version 87. If you don’t know, Chrome Actions are a fast and simple way to take action right from the address bar.
With this feature enabled, you can perform basic actions, such as opening the incognito mode, clearing the browsing history, etc., directly from Chrome’s address bar. In addition to that, there is a wide range of browser-related settings or options that you can modify, such as changing the Google Password, managing cookies & passwords, running Chrome safety checks, and more.
Up until now, Chome Actions were available only on the desktop version of Google Chrome. But now, it’s available even on the Android version of the Chrome web browser. Chrome version 101 for Android has this feature, but it may not be available to every user right now.
