If you use the website history in Google Chrome then Trajects or (“Journeys”), a new feature in Google Chrome, will have aroused your interest.
Google Chrome journeys is a new feature that Google has introduced since October. Trajectories was also recently added to the latest version of Google Chrome. To use the routes function, you must update the Chrome browser to the latest version.
Trajecten will be rolled out to Google Chrome in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Turkish, Portuguese and Dutch.
What is Google Chrome Pathways?
Google Chrome journeys is a new feature in Google Chrome that relates to the user's search history. Trajecten bundles previously performed searches together by topic or intent.
For example, do you search a lot for “holiday”. You will then see an overview of all previous searches and pages related to “holiday” in routes. Trajecten therefore groups by subject or intention.
This way you can continue through paths on a specific topic that you searched for days or weeks ago. So it is no longer necessary to go through your entire history in search of a topic you searched for weeks ago.
You can then open these web pages from the Chrome history all at once in a new tab group with a simple click. You can of course also open a separate item from history.
How do I use Google Chrome journeys?
To use Google Chrome routes you need the latest version of Google Chrome necessary. Open the Google Chrome browser. In the menu in the top right corner, click Help, then click About Google Chrome.
Google Chrome now automatically updates and Pathways is available. If it is not yet available, you can add it to Chrome via the Google Chrome hidden settings.
In the address bar type: chrome://flags/. Search for “journeys” and enable both the “History journeys” and “History journeys omnibox action” options. Set the values to “Enabled”.
Then restart the Chrome browser.
After restarting Google Chrome, click on the menu in the top right corner. In the menu, click on History and then click on History again. You can also use the shortcut CTRL + H or type chrome://history/journeys in the address bar.
Then click on Trajectories.
You will now see an overview that resembles an overview of the web pages visited, the history. At the very top you can search for history.
All the history you see here is grouped by topic or intent. This is of course your search history. By typing a search query such as subject or intent at the top of the search bar, you can search for a specific subject.
All history you see after that is history based on that topic, also called a “pathway”.
This history often includes multiple websites related to the topic of your search. Google can also add suggestions itself.
You can easily open all websites related to this topic in new tab group.
To do this, click on the three vertical dots next to a “route” and click on “Open all in new tab group”. All websites in this trajectory group will all be opened at the same time in a new tab group. You can recognize these websites by the label “Saved in tab group”.
If multiple results are found for the “pathway” topic or intention, click “load more” at the bottom to display all topics.
Trajecten helps you to search more quickly by subject or intention in the Google Chrome history. This way you no longer have to search all the history for a topic you searched for weeks or months ago.
I hope this helped you. Thank you for reading!
