Google Chrome is testing a predictive back feature that previews the previous page, preventing users from accidentally navigating away.Leveraging Android’s built-in functionality, the preview shows the prior page in your history, but a gray screen if it’s returning home.The feature is currently in A/B testing in Chrome’s stable version, but users can enable it manually via feature flags.Accidentally exiting an app can be frustrating, especially when it leads to lost progress or data. That’s why Google introduced a feature called Predictive Back in Android 13, which lets you preview the previous screen before completing the back gesture. This saves you from inadvertently leaving an app you want to stay on. Web browsers are a perfect use case for this, as they can preview the previous page in your history. Now, it seems Google agrees, as the company has begun testing this exact functionality in Chrome for some users.The other day, I noticed that when swiping back in Google Chrome, the browser showed a dimmed preview of the previous page in tabs that had a browse history.
