TL;DR

• Google is testing a new Pixel Launcher feature that would display browser tabs in the Search bar’s search results.
• The feature was spotted in the latest Android Canary release, but it isn’t currently functional.
• This functionality is already available on Chrome on some Samsung Galaxy Tab devices running One UI.

The Pixel Launcher on Pixel smartphones and tablets features a handy Search bar that allows you to search through content from both your device and the web. You can search through apps, contacts, settings, Play Store, and more — all from the same Search bar, making it a one-stop shop for your needs. Google may be looking to add another service to this list, and surprisingly, Pixels won’t be the first device to utilize the feature.

On the Galaxy Tab S10 Plus, Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra, and Galaxy Tab S11, Google enabled recent Chrome tabs to appear in the Samsung Finder app. On these Samsung tablets, Chrome has a feature that lets you “Share titles and the URLs of open tabs from this device with the operating system.” You can find it in Chrome Settings > Advanced > Tabs and tab groups.
