What are Chrome Journeys? How to use them?

Chrome Journeys would help users to make better use of their Chrome history by revealing not just recent visits, but also how they got there and what they discovered. Cool? Here’s a tutorial on how to utilize Chrome Journeys.

What are Chrome’s Journeys?

You may be aware that every website you visit is kept and cached in your browser’s History. Using Chrome History, you can easily track your daily, weekly, or annual activities. History is fantastic for locating recent visitors, but not so great for broader puzzles. It doesn’t assist you track your search for Alaska vacations or new items and their features.

Journeys allow users to observe their online route in chronological order. These entries reveal all the sites you visited while searching for that topic. If you were researching a vacation to Alaska, Google Chrome’s Journeys tab would display you all of the sites you visited. That includes your original Google search, subsequent pages, and so on. Each page’s information is neatly displayed in a window, making it easy to return. This is Chrome’s reaction to interrupted searches and natural internet derailments.

• English

Chrome Journeys is currently not accessible on mobile devices. The function is new, therefore there is space for development and future OS expansion.

How to locate and utilize Chrome Journeys

To locate your recent Internet exploits, you will need to do a few basic steps under Chrome’s settings. From there, you can investigate what Journeys has to offer and maybe include it into your Chrome toolkit. Here’s how to locate Journeys:

• Launch Chrome on your desktop.
• Tap the overflow menu (three dots) in the upper-right corner of the screen.
• From there, mouse over History and select History from the new menu that displays.
• You will initially see Chrome’s History page, but you should click Journeys at the top.

That is all it takes to get there. You may access your recent Chrome Journeys from this page and, if necessary, complete a few steps.

Each Journey entry contains a source site – usually a Google Search – and one or more secondary sites. Those are the sites you found during your search. The parent site has an overflow menu on the right. There are a few possibilities if you click the overflow menu.

You may either open all of those tabs in a new group, or delete the entire Journey from your history. Opening these sites in a new tab group is a great feature that enables you go back to work quickly.

Some Journeys have a list of suggested searches at the bottom of the card. Simply click one of the search bubbles to open a new tab. This allows you to pick up where you left off or even refocus your search. A See more button may appear. This happens when your Journey is too extensive to fit on one card without overshadowing others. Tap See more to see the whole history of that search.

Notably, Journeys are not presently kept on the cloud, but rather on your local device. Unlike Google Chrome’s History function, which maintains your history for each device, allowing you to revisit a site with a different device.
