As per the flag description, a new button for “Read Later” will appear when you enable the flag. The
button will let you access a menu with all the tabs saved for later. We don’t know how the feature looks
or actually functions since it’s not yet available for Chrome, including the latest Chrome Canary i.e.
version 86.0.4213.0.
Among the main reasons that make this feature desirable is Chrome’s hunger for RAM. When you can
feel Chrome hogging up on RAM and making your computer slower, leaving a bunch of tabs in the
background appears like the least desirable option. Besides resolving the need to save links for later,
Google is also working on reducing the RAM consumption by the Chrome browser.
Until the Chrome flag goes live, you can check out an interesting Chrome extension named LINER that
can be used to save links or excerpts from articles. Using LINER, you can also highlight parts of an article
so you don’t have to rummage through the entire text to find something specifically the next time
you’re reading it.
