After lots of work, Google managed to present Chrome 98 in the very first days of 2022.

In this brief article, you will find everything you need to know about Google Chrome 98.

There are useful features in this new software, that will make Chrome even better.

What’s new in Chrome 98?

Google listened carefully Chrome’s users and they decided to include most of the features that people wanted.

In plus, they did improvements that most people didn’t expect to see soon.

As always, Google made a super job with this new version.

This is what you need to know.

Built-in screenshot feature for desktop

I don’t know what type of user you are, but I am constantly taking screenshots of my desktop computer.

So, I am super glad Chrome 98 is finally having its own bult-in screenshot utility software.

Forget about 3rd party software, we will use Chrome to make our screenshots. It is not that this software are not great, but usually they have things that I don’t like (are not user friendly, some are not free, and so on).

Taking screenshots will be quick and easy.

Screenshots can be personalized with emoji

Another cool feature of Chrome 98 is that the software lets us easily personalize screenshots with emoji.

So, if you are taking a screenshot with Chrome 98, you have the possibility to add the emoji you want.

This is in plus of drawing and adding text.

Now we can take a screenshot, add text and make a drawing, and at the end add a emoji so the receiver know what we feel about.

Think about it, this is super useful, and it will be very simple to use.

Full privacy control

Google will let you fully control privacy.

Chrome 98 has tons of settings that you can make to fully protect your privacy.

You might say that Google already does that, but now they went the extra mile.

This doesn’t mean that Google wants you to stop sharing your data with them, but they better explain you what you need to know to make the right decision for you.

HDR improvements for CSS

With Chrome 98, web developers will have the possibility to use CLL to poll whether the screen their website is currently displayed on supports HDR content.

You always wanted this feature?

Here it is, enjoy it.

Better looking emoji

Chrome 98 made emoji look clearer and crisper.

In plus, all of them take less storage than before.

This is not all

Chrome 98 is in Beta, so new updates for sure will follow.

Stay tuned and find out in the following weeks what Chrome 98 has to offer.

Conclusions

Chrome 98 will be much easier to use, faster, safer, and it will have many built-in features that will help us get rid of 3rd party software.

Google is always delivering a top-level of quality, usefulness, and user-friendly software. They are similar to Apple from this point of view, both companies put lots of effort and resources into developing outstanding software and pieces of equipment.

As already mentioned, Chrome 98 is in Beta, so it is not the final version, but soon we will have it installed and use it with pleasure.

Probably you are as curious as me to find out what other goodies will Google Chrome 98 come with.

Stay tuned, a follow-up article to this one will be launched when times come.

Joseph Johnson from Statista says: “As of the fourth quarter of 2019, 49 percent of Yahoo’s U.S. organic search traffic originated from mobile devices. Google had the highest share of organic mobile search traffic with 61 percent, slightly ahead of DuckDuckGo with 58 percent.”

So half of the devices are mobile phones. It is easy to see why Google pays such an important attention to its search engine. Everything has to be perfect.

The redesign will be made for mobile users, and it is coming with interesting changes.

Google will make use of colors, and larger and bolder text fonts to help users have a better and easier reading experience. They never stop improving their famous search engine and we all win from that, including them.

The fonts that are being planned to use are the very same ones that are already in several Google products, but also in Android and Gmail.

But how will Google use colors to enhance the user experience? It is interesting that their logo is colorful and that now they will use colors to help us have a better experience when using the search engine from our mobile phones.

I am very curious to see how colors will be used. For sure their idea will inspire tons of other projects.

Aileen Cheng, a designer at Google said:

“We wanted to take a step back to simplify a bit so people could find what they’re looking for faster and more easily. I find it really refreshing. We want to let the search results shine, allowing people to focus on the information instead of the design elements around it,”

“Rethinking the visual design for something like Search is really complex,”

“That’s especially true given how much Google Search has evolved. We’re not just organizing the web’s information, but all the world’s information,”

“We started with organizing web pages, but now there’s so much diversity in the types of content and information we have to help make sense of.” 

“We want to let the search results shine, allowing people to focus on the information instead of the design elements around it,”

“We’re making the result and section titles bigger, as well,”

Even more changes

Colors and fonts are not the only changes.

Google will use clean backgrounds to make sure users can focus on their task, and not on heavy backgrounds.

If they do that, why are we still seeing lots of websites with complicated, crowded, and heavy designs? We should all learn something from Google and other huge corporations that know very well what they are doing.

Conclusions

Even if Google is by far the most used search engine in the world, they invest massively to not only keep their position, but to still gain market points.

Whenever the competition is powerful, and this is the case also here, we, the users will win the most.

Google Redesigns “Search” With Colors And Better Fonts

I am 150% sure that when Google will redesign its “search” for mobile phones with colors and better fonts, the user experience will be much better than it is today. And let’s be honest, Google is super simple to use and extremely efficient.

Just try to remember some years ago, how hard was to find what you were looking for on Google and other search engines. Even now, try to find something on Yahoo. They are lightning fast behind Google and this is sad. Yahoo was the first in the industry, at least before BackRub (Google’s first brand name).

But anyway, let’s see the Google “Search” mobile redesign. I bet you are as curious as me.

In this article you will find out how fonts like serif, sans serif, script, modern, and display typefaces are being used by some brands and industries, and how there seems to be a psychology behind some fonts. It is believed that certain scripts can induce different emotions and create associations in the mind of the audience.

We know that people have certain feelings when they see different colours and shapes. So what we need to know is that people can actually react in the same way when they look at fonts. That’s soo cool! So beware when you choose the fonts for your designs and logos!

For instance

• a modern font like Century gothic is perceived as chic
• a Sans Serif font such as Calibri font is seen as clean and neat.
• a Baskerville Old Face font can make your brand look more reliable

Now, let’s see what these famous brands are using as fonts for their logos:

Cadillac

Cadillac is an American luxury vehicle marquee founded in 1902. It is also one of the oldest automobile brands in the world. Cadillac uses the script English 157 to transmit the message of elegance and sophistication.

Disney

The Walt Disney Company, commonly nicknamed as Disney, is one of the largest entertainment and media companies in the world. It was founded in 1923 by Walt Disney and his brother, Roy Oliver Disney, as the Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio. Disney used the Display Waltograph font for their logo and managed to make their brand one of the most known and recognized logos in the world.

LinkedIn

The primary type family for LinkedIn is Source Sans. The company also openly shares the typography specifics of their brand and logo here. The use of Sans serif font makes the company look very clean and business-like. Its design can transmits professionalism and will make you feel like you can achieve your business objectives through them.

Google

The Google font is simple, but respectable. Google is associated with stability and reliability and its serif font has a calming influence. Google has been iterating on the font since 2011, because the brand is well aware of how much impact can a logo have.
