If you don't have seamless internet connectivity, Google Chrome will ensure you still get your daily dose of news. Google Chrome on Android will automatically download articles when you're connected to Wi-Fi so that you can read the content offline, Cnet reported.
The catch here is that the feature downloads articles based on the most popular content in your location, or your browsing history for stories which may interest you. The feature will be rolling out to over 100 countries including India, Nigeria and Brazil.
Contributing to the idea of Chrome for "everyone, everywhere," tech giant Google recently announced the rollout of an offline mode for users on Android.
"Today, we're introducing another way for Chrome on Android users in India, along with more than 100 countries including Nigeria, Indonesia, and Brazil, to surf the web with Chrome on Android devices - even without a constant internet connection. When you're connected to free, unmetered WiFi, Chrome will automatically download relevant articles, based on what content is most popular in your location," Amanda Boss, Product Manager, Offline Chrome for Android, wrote in a blog post.
The company further noted that users who are signed into Chrome can also access relevant articles, based on browsing history. This downloaded content is then available at any point in time, sans internet connection.
"Chrome's goal is to make the web work well for everyone, everywhere. From building offline capabilities to an automatic data saver, we've launched a number of features to improve web accessibility especially tailored to NBU markets. However, it can be frustrating and hard to access the web when you lose connectivity or spend days disconnected. Spotty connectivity shouldn't stop us from accessing our favourite sites to get information, whether it's recent news or the latest cricket results," added Amanda. The new feature will be available to users by updating to the latest version of Chrome on Android in Google Play.
