Google Chrome users on Android should soon be getting a valuable upgrade to the browser called “Instance Switcher”. This feature allows users to have multiple Chrome windows open simultaneously, This could be a significant productivity boost for users, who can now have different windows for different tasks, such as “work” and “home” or for cross-referencing while researching.

One of the key benefits of this feature is that it allows users to run two versions of Chrome simultaneously and interact with both simultaneously via split-screen or by placing one instance over the other. This is useful for those who work from home, as they can now have separate windows for work and home tasks. Additionally, it allows users to watch a YouTube video while reading around the subject without switching between tabs.

This feature is similar to the “open new window” button on Safari for iPad and could be especially useful on the best Android tablets. However, the split-screen may be a bit small on some phones. While this feature may not be revolutionary, it is a handy addition to Chrome on mobile and desktop, showing that Google is not resting on its laurels.

This follows other recent time-saving features, such as pinned tabs and the secondary search window added in late 2022. The Instance Switcher feature can be found by tapping the three dots menu on Chrome and selecting “Manage Windows,” although there has been no official announcement from Google yet.

Even as a market leader it is good to see Google not resting on its laurels and adding new time-saving features to Chrome on mobile and desktop like the pinned tabs and the secondary search window added in late 2022.
