Use Google Voice Assistant in Chrome
There are people who are already controlling your browser with your voice, without needing to touch the phone. Some functions (not all) that you can do in the Android browser par excellence have been added to the voice assistant capabilities of the great G.
In a video that has been shared you can see how you use actions directly in a Pixel 4 with the Google Voice Assistant, in English, yes.
These are the actions you can do directly with the voice in Chrome since the last update:
- Open a new tab
- Close the current tab
- Close all tabs
- Go back
- Go forward
- Reload the page
- Save the page to favorites
- Open history
- Open downloads made with the browser
- Search in Chrome
- Go to a website
- Open a website
- Send the web page to a contact
To do this you must activate it from the flags. And how is it done? Well, easy. You will have to go to the address bar and enter chrome: // flags, that will take you to a menu of options that you can enable and disable.
We will look for Direct actions and activate it. Of course, if you look a little you will see that this option is only available for phones with Android 10 and up.
So we will have to wait to receive the latest version of Android to have this option, so in the video we see it moving from a Pixel 4, a phone that has the latest version of Android since its launch.
In this video below we can see other possibilities offered by these new options.
