Google is preparing a shortcut allowing you to quickly access the history on Chrome for Android by staying pressing the return button on the smartphone.

History is one of the most important features of a web browser.Ideal for finding a site that has been viewed previously, this tool also makes it possible to erase certain traces ... but I will not pour out on this subject.

Chrome for Android seems to have prepared an interesting feature to be able to quickly open its history.Indeed, the XDA-Developers teams found clues in the Google browser code.

There is mention of an option inviting to "a long support on the return button to display the navigation history".In other words, it will certainly be possible to access the history with this simple in the next versions of chrome.

Nothing allows you to know how the history will be displayed.One can however imagine that only the pages consulted recently will appear - as when one right click on the previous arrow in the desktop version of Chrome.

As XDA points out, this option will undoubtedly first appear on Chrome Canary before arriving on the stable version a few weeks or months after.Recall that the history is already very easily accessible from the browser options.But we never say no to a little more simplicity.
