This desktop-centric toast message appears as a small pill-shaped overlay with a light blue background (from 9to5 Google). Hover over the top of Chrome’s address bar for a few seconds until you see a message that says “Link has been copied.” New animations were discovered in Chrome 130 on Mac.
These animations provide a smoother user experience.
Toast animations are simple messages that briefly pop up near the bottom of your Android screen to notify you of an action an app has taken. It will disappear after a few seconds. It’s called a toast message because it resembles toast popping out of a toaster.
Toast messages have several advantages. First, it provides instant feedback letting you know that what you wanted actually happened. For desktop versions of Chrome, this helps you know that the link (or image) was actually copied.
Second, toast messages disappear in seconds without user interaction, so they are less intrusive. These are visual cues that won’t interrupt your workflow or clutter your screen.
New animations have not been published anywhere yet
New toast animations were not found in Chrome. ChromeOS. This is interesting because this feature is not entirely new to the Chrome ecosystem. ChromeOS has always had a variety of toast notifications. For example, system events and app activity often display short toast messages. You can also use an extension to receive Android toast notifications on your Chromebook.
We have discovered that this update will be released in August. At that time, Google leaker @Leopeva64 removed the feature, which was later released as a beta in Chrome Canary. Since then, we’ve been hearing rumors about toast animations coming to Chrome on the desktop, including details on what they’ll look like.
These toast messages are available in the desktop version of Chrome 130 on Mac, and will soon be rolled out to other platforms such as Windows and ChromeOS. It’s a small change, but it has a big impact on society as a whole. Chrome becomes more intuitive And an easy to use browser.
