Google's Daydream VR is hoping to keep users in VR spaces by now allowing them to use the web browser Chrome while in virtual reality. Serving as an almost exact replica of the browser, the Daydream VR -enabled Chrome will let users access the same features they expect from Google Chrome -- including incognito mode, voice search and saved bookmarks. The VR version of the browser also includes some new features, such as an optimized way of navigating web pages in a virtual environment.
The integration of Chrome for the Daydream VR means users can now easily jump between viewing pages on their phone and on the VR headset. According to Google, the shift from mobile to virtual reality is seamless, whether that page contains news articles or a YouTube video.
