In recent test versions of the Google browser is the ability to use a swipe gesture on the touch screen to the previous or next page to open. It is also possible to use pinch-to-zoom in and zoom out. In addition to Windows 8, an onscreen keyboard will be displayed for text input.

Touch functionality should be in the experimental Chrome browser have to be manually turned on. It is likely that Google has the functionality for some time yet will test it before a final release is stopped.

The touch functionality in Chrome seems to be especially suitable for Windows 8, an OS that Microsoft is more focused on use by devices with a touchscreen. Googles Chrome browser for mobile operating systems Android and iOS had, of course, support for touch, but it is not the first time that Google’s mobile versions looks down: in a previous Chrome release was a notificatiecentrum added. Incidentally, had Google in Chrome OS, even though several gestures for touchbediening added.
