Google Chrome gets Duplicate Tab and Full Screen Mode

Google chrome is no more newbie browser. Google Chrome is constantly increasing its market share, At the same time it is coming with new versions too.The latest version of chrome comes with a full screen option which most of the today’s browsers already have.However, It is available with only with Developer Channel of Google Chrome.The difference between beta and developer channel chrome is just the updated period.Developer Channel of Google Chrome is updated weekly where as beta chrome is done monthly.

In the regular version, it got an option to duplicate any given tab.This feature can be used to easily move over cookies and other session related content from one tab to another to duplicate a tab, right click on any of the tab you want to duplicate and click on the Duplicate Tab option

To enter full screen mode in Google chrome.

Press the F11 key on your keyboard and see what happens :) , The difference between full screen mode in Google  chrome and other browsers is the address bar.There is no address bar available in the full screen mode, so you will have to get out of full screen to type in another URL.

Note that If you are not a developer channel user, you will not see the new features in your Google Chrome.However, shifting to Developer Channel of Google Chrome is pretty simple.Complete the below steps.

Google Chrome Channel Changer

  • Select the circle next to the Dev: The latest features and bugfixes.
  • Click on the Update button to save your choice.
  • Click on the Close button
  • In Google Chrome, click the wrench menu(Top right) and choose “About Google Chrome”.
  • If there are any latest update, click Update Now to install the current channel’s release.
  • Restart Google Chrome

Google Chrome will automatically update the browser to the latest version when future updates are released, to change back to a different channel(stable or beta), follow steps once again.

    I will love to see some more addon here in Chrome..
    Though Chrome is a nice browser but still I miss some great features.
    Chrome Addons will be a great idea…

    After changing the channel to dev
    Close the browser , Start a new session
    Then find “About Google Chrome”. It will update you for the developer version
    Then you can see the full screen version
    I already explained this process in the post

    First the browser need to be updated for the developer version, then only you can see

    Hope it works for you now :)
