Next, Google is starting to roll out a feature for Chrome on iOS that can help you find great prices while shopping. If Chrome has Shopping Insights for a product you’re browsing for, once the feature is available on your device, you’ll see a “Good Deal Now” notification in your address bar. You can tap on it to reveal helpful details like price history, price tracking, and more buying options.
