Microsoft recently announce the availability of the Windows 10 Timeline extension for GoogleChrome. The newly announced extension is officially calledWeb Activitiesand is an official extension that syncsChromebrowsing activities in Timeline.

Launched in 2018, Windows Timeline keeps a record of the browsing activities and apps history by synchronizing the activity into the task view feature of Windows.

Previously, only Microsoft Edge had supported this feature. However, the users who wanted to run Timeline forChromecould extend this feature toChromevia the unofficial extensions which were announced last year.

Before this new extension, Google had its plans to sync browsing history forChrome. However, this extension simplifies the activity by directing the browsing history into the Task view which can be accessed from the desktop.

Web Activities coming to more apps

Besides integrating Timeline toChrome, Microsoft alsoplansto introduce this feature for more apps in the coming weeks.

As we move into planning for future development, we are focusing on yet another Insider request: add support for more apps in Timeline. Browser support was especially high on our Insider’s wish list – which lead to the recent introduction of ourChromeextension. Now, Timeline can now bring together even more activities.

Furthermore, the extension’s description onChromeWeb Store also tells that the Web Activities will sync the browsing history in Microsoft Launcher as well that runs on Android devices.

Here’s the description for Android:

With this extension, your browsing history will appear across all your devices in surfaces such as in Windows timeline and Microsoft Launcher for Android. Just sign in with your Microsoft account, select a site you’ve recently visited, and pick up where you left off.

This release by Microsoft is a step towards the company’s goal of expanding the Timeline across other apps.

At the moment, no official extension of Windows Timeline is available for Firefox. However, unofficial extensions do exist to integrate Timeline in Firefox.

Firefox might be the next target of the Timeline? What do you say about it?
