Context Based Pasting Feature Is Coming To Android

As of the reports, the search giant Google has been working on a new feature called copyless pasting for the Android version of Google Chrome from February onwards. The Google blog explains that it is a kind of predictive copying and pasting.

For example, if you are visiting a shoe shop's website and after that, you switch to the map's app, then with this new features Google will automatically copy and paste the shop's name into the Google maps search box and show you the results automatically. It is yet to be confirmed if these things are automatically copied to clipboard or not. If it is being copied to the clipboard, there will be a great disadvantage it is that the previously copied things that we plan to keep in our clipboard will automatically be lost without our permission. That would lead us to unnecessary loss of data.

From Google Chrome version 59 and upwards, the new feature will be available from Chrome Flags section. As of the reports, it has not yet started working. It is expected that Google will announce this new feature along with other updates in the upcoming I/O Developer Conference.

Google Chrome Update Finally Fixes The Page Jump Annoyance

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.
