Google has added a new feature to Google Chrome Canary that makes it easier for users to test new hidden features under development.
When Google creates a new browser feature, it is first tested in Google Chrome Canary and Google Chrome Beta.
To make it easier for Google Chrome users to find new features that Google wants them to test and provide feedback on, Google has introduced this week a feature called 'Chrome Labs.'.
The hidden features currently promoted by Chrome Labs are 'Reading List', 'Tab Scrolling', and 'Tab Search.
Google Chrome's Head of Design Alex Ainslie announced the new Chrome Labs feature on Twitter this week and said it is available in Google Canary and coming soon to Chrome Dev and Beta.
When Chrome Labs appears, change it to Enabled and restart the browser for the feature to become active.
