Steps to preview a page on Chrome
First of all, update the Google Chrome app to the latest version from Google Play Store.

3. In this menu, among many options, you will now see a new option- “Preview page”
4. Tap on “Preview page” and that’s it.
It will then open a short window of that page where you can scroll to the ent to see the whole page. Then you can either close with the ‘X’ button or open it in the full window by tapping the open in new window button.
This is the same on a website as well. When you tap and hold on a link on any website, it will show the option of “Preview page”.
Note: If the link you want to preview contains a download link, then the download will not start automatically, rather it will ask you if you want to download the file or not.
This is how you can preview a web page in Chrome. The latest Chrome feature from Google is really going to help many users who spend a lot of time, shuffling through web pages. Apart from this, Google recently also rolled out the “Group tab” feature for Chrome which clubs tabs together for your ease.
