The dawn of the modern chrome on the android.
Google is moving upmarket with its latest feature: Say ‘This page’, for example. Debuting on Chrome for Android, it brings a vast change in how you will look at Web pages. The next new feature is that the software reads the content of web pages and this, of course, makes the software more useful in the aspect of accessibility.

This feature like the podcast controls are available under the three-dot menu on the top right corner of the chrome app. It offers control, which may include play, pause, and skip forward or backward by a time of 10 seconds, or even alter the option of speed of the video. Still, it is not fully compatible with other web sites.

But this new feature provides an option that most users would find rather useful.
