Google testing 'quote cards' and other features in Chrome

With cards on the New Tab Page, Google is making it easier for you to pick up where you left off based on your browsing history if you are signed into Chrome. They make it easy to revisit past activities or tasks, like planning a meal, shopping for a gift or working on a document in Google Drive.

Google is testing a couple of new features in Chrome that will make it easier to explore, keep track of, and share the things you find on the web. These include cards on the New Tab Page and image quote cards, among others.

Secondly, Google Chrome for Android is experimenting with adding a row beneath the address bar so that you can continue your search without the need to hit the back button. To try this feature in Chrome Beta, enable the #continuous-search flag on Android.
