Google has rolled out a new update to its Chrome Browser, fixing a major problem that annoyed its user experience for a long time.
Few years back Google hand rolled out a new feature by the name progressive-page-loading. The greatest strength of this feature was that it eliminates the installation step, and users can immediately start using a website, while the site keeps loading in the background.
Along with the convenience, that feature also created some annoyance to the user experience of the visitors. The biggest problem was that the page jumps when the screen content loads and pushes down the current view of the page. Mobile users are the ones who suffered this problem much sense screen estate is very least.
In the new Google Chrome update, Google has introduced a fresh feature called scroll anchoring to solve this problem. This feature was already available to the people who were using the developer version of Google Chrome.
As of the blog post from Google - This feature works by locking the scroll position on an on-screen element to keep the users in the same spot even as off-screen content continues to load. This means that hereafter the users screen will not move to other positions after the page loading is completed.
