Switching between your phone and computer while reading something online usually sounds easier than it actually is. Chrome can already send an open tab from one device to another, but until now, the handoff could leave you doing the most annoying part yourself: finding your place again.

Google is fixing that with a small but genuinely useful Chrome update.

When you send a tab to another device, Chrome can now preserve the exact state of the page, including your scroll position and partially completed forms. That means a long article, research paper, or other webpage should open on the second device right where you left it instead of dropping you back at the top.

Google is pitching the feature as a way to make studying and research easier. For example, you could start reading a lengthy paper on your phone, send the tab to your laptop when you get home, and continue from the same point without scrolling through dozens of pages to find the section you were reading.

The form-data support could be even more useful outside of studying. If you start filling out a form on your phone and decide that typing everything on a keyboard would be easier, Chrome can carry over the information you’ve already entered when you switch devices. You can also go the other way and finish something on your phone if you need to leave your desk.

On desktop, Chrome lets you send a page through the three-dot menu under “Cast, save and share” and then “Send to your device.” The option can also be added to the toolbar. On Android, the feature is available through Chrome’s sharing interface.

The update isn’t arriving alone. Google is also expanding Gemini in Chrome with a couple of features aimed at people researching and learning online.

Gemini can now analyze more types of audio and video content, including podcasts and videos hosted outside YouTube. Once the media has been played in Chrome, Gemini can identify key takeaways, locate specific information, or help clarify confusing sections.

There’s also a new interactive quiz feature. Gemini can generate quizzes from the content of the current tab, including Google Docs, webpages and YouTube videos. Instead of simply summarizing study material, the idea is to turn that material into questions so you can test whether you actually understood it.

The quiz feature is currently rolling out in English on desktop in the US and India, with Google saying it will expand to additional regions and mobile devices in the coming months. The cross-device tab-state feature is being rolled out alongside these Chrome updates.

Google is framing the changes around students, but the cross-device handoff is useful for pretty much anyone who regularly jumps between a phone and a computer. After all, nobody particularly enjoys scrolling through a 50-page document just to figure out where they stopped.

And sometimes, the best browser feature is simply the one that remembers where you were.
