Google Chrome has been updated to take advantage of the Touch Bar on newer MacBook Pro models. It provides handy navigation shortcuts, fast access to your favorites, as well as a hybrid search and address bar.
When Apple launched the first MacBook Pro with Touch Bar last October, it was already compatible with Safari, where it offers shortcuts to your favorites websites, as well as navigation and search options. Now, Chrome is finally catching up.
Like Safari, Chrome offers a number of shortcuts for things like forward, back, and refresh; favorites; and search. These sit alongside some of the standard function keys you need in macOS, like volume and brightness controls, and the Siri button.
To take advantage of Touch Bar support in Chrome, you’ll need to download the version 60 update, which is available now.
