Google Chrome is Testing a Profile Card Flag in the Address Bar

https://9to5google.com

Looking like Google might be adding a Profile Card in Chrome’s Address Bar, that may allow users to open the profile card to see more information about the content creators. The featured was noticed in the [experimental section of Chrome browser](https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/1990488).

Tapping this new button will pop up the eponymous “Profile Card,” revealing a trove of information about that web content creator, including their name, a short bio, and what social media platforms they’re on. All of the information for this card will be generated automatically by Google using the current page’s URL. Unfortunately, we don’t have any insights just yet on how this is accomplished, but we’re thinking the result should look like a condensed version of the info card seen when looking up a public figure on Google Search.

For now, the Profile Card experiment is limited to Google Chrome for Android, but there’s been mention of Profile Cards coming to desktop Chrome.
