Google Chrome to show “New” badges on menu items for users to know about new features. The feature is already available behind a flag in Chrome Canary and is working.
You can learn Chrome’s new functions through official blog posts by Google or by looking at chrome://flags page.
Note: The flags are experimental features that are not ready to use in release versions, enabling them may break the browser.
Google is now working on a new feature where it wants users to identify and access menu items with new functionality in the Chrome browser by showing the blue colored new badges wherever necessary.
For instance, in Chrome Canary if you now turn on ” Enable ‘New’ badge on menu items” flag on Windows, Mac, Linux, and Chrome OS, Canary will highlight the “Add tab to new group” menu item as a new feature.
This way, Chrome may show more “New” badges (these may appear in the Chrome menu or page context menu or tab menu) to indicate the respective menu items contain new functionality,
