New feature now available in the Canary version of Chrome

Google is working on a new feature for Google Chrome that will allow users to rename browser windows with just a few clicks.

Multi-tasking has become a key feature of the majority of Windows users, and having more than just one window of the same app running on the screen is something that most of us do these days.

Needless to say, multiple windows with the same name isn’t necessarily the most convenient approach, and the living proof is the browser experience, which provides no customization option in this regard.

Google, however, wants to deal with this in Google Chrome browser, and a recent feature that the company has added to the Canary build is one major step in this regard.

As spotted by TechDows, this feature makes it possible for users to change the names of the browsing windows, thus making it easier to figure out which window is which before clicking them.

So theoretically, if you use one browser window for personal stuff and another window for work apps, you can rename them as needed to better figure out which one you have to click.

The new option is added right in the right-click toolbar menu of the browser, and it is called Window Naming. At this point, however, it’s important to know that the feature is still part of the Canary build, and there’s no ETA as to when it could go live for everyone in the stable version of Chrome. The good news is that the feature isn’t hiding under an experimental flag, so if you’re running Chrome Canary, you should already see it on your device. The same thing will be valid for the stable version of the browser, though for now, it remains to be seen if the feature will go live for everybody.
