时间轴^(Timeline)是最新版本的Windows 10中添加的最有用的功能之一。它提供了一种从一台设备到另一台设备继续工作的绝佳方式。然而， Timeline^(Timeline)的主要缺陷之一是，到目前为止，它无法与Google Chrome一起使用。这^(Which)意味着只有使用Microsoft Edge时，您才能从上次中断的地方继续您的网络活动。情况已不再如此，因为微软发布了^(Microsoft)Google Chrome的扩展程序，使其与Timeline兼容。该扩展名为Web 活动^{(Web Activities)}并且，在本文中，我们将向您展示如何获取它以及如何使用它：

注意：^(NOTE:)时间线^(Timeline)仅在Windows 10 April 2018 更新^(Update)或更新版本中可用。此外，在继续之前，如果您还不知道如何启用它以及如何使用它，请先阅读：什么是 Windows 10 中的时间线^{(Windows 10)}以及^(Timeline)如何使用它来恢复过去的活动。

如何获取 Google Chrome 的Web活动^{(Google Chrome)}扩展^{(Web Activities extension)}

如果您想将Windows 10中的^{(Windows 10)}时间线^(Timeline)与Google Chrome一起使用，您必须首先安装名为Web 活动的^{(Web Activities)}Chrome 扩展程序^{(Chrome extension)}。它由Microsoft开发，可在Chrome Web Store中找到。如果您不想搜索它，请打开您的Google Chrome 浏览器^{(Google Chrome browser)}并点击此直接链接：Web 活动^{(Web Activities)}。在扩展程序的页面上，单击或点击“添加到 Chrome”^{("Add to Chrome")}按钮。

谷歌浏览器^{(Google Chrome)}应该询问您是否确定要“添加网络活动”。^{("Add Web Activities.")}按“添加扩展”^{("Add extension")}按钮。

稍等^(Wait)片刻，以便在Google Chrome中下载、安装和加载 Web 扩展程序。

完成后， Chrome^(Chrome)地址栏^{(address bar)}右侧会出现一个新按钮。值得注意的是，它的图标看起来类似于Windows 10任务栏上的^{(Windows 10)}任务视图^{(Task View)}图标。单击^(Click)或点击Web 活动^{(Web Activities)}按钮。

如何使Google Chrome^{(Google Chrome work)}与Windows 10 时间轴一起工作^(Timeline)

当您第一次按下Google Chrome中的^{(Google Chrome)}Web 活动^{(Web Activities)}按钮时，您只有一个选项：登录^{(Sign in)}。您需要这样做，以便您的时间线可以从^(Timeline)Google Chrome同步您的浏览历史记录。单击^(Click)或点按登录^{(Sign in)}。

将打开一个大的弹出窗口^{(pop-up window)}：输入您的Microsoft 帐户^{(Microsoft account)}，然后按Next。

在下一步中，输入您的Microsoft 帐户密码，然后按^{(Microsoft account password and press)} 登录^{(Sign in)}。此外，如果您为您的Microsoft 帐户^{(Microsoft account)}启用了 2 因素身份验证，您还必须完成辅助身份验证步骤^{(authentication step)}，这可能意味着您必须执行诸如输入临时代码或批准智能手机上的通知之类的操作。

一旦您通过Microsoft 帐户的身份验证， ^{(Microsoft account)}Google Chrome的Web 活动^{(Web Activities)}扩展程序会要求您允许它访问您的Microsoft 帐户^{(Microsoft account)}信息。选择是^(Yes)允许它；否则，扩展无法工作。

这就是使Google Chrome^{(Google Chrome work)}与Windows 10的时间轴^(Timeline)一起工作所需要做的一切。

如何在Google Chrome中使用^{(Google Chrome)}Windows 10的时间轴

从这里开始，您可以在您启用它的每台Windows 10 PC 或设备^{(PC or device)}上的时间轴中找到您从^(Timeline)Google Chrome浏览器的浏览历史记录。^{(Google Chrome)}

尽管您希望在时间轴^(Timeline)中看到您的浏览历史记录，标记为来自Google Chrome的活动，但请不要寻找。相反，请检查Web 活动^{(Web Activities)}。标有网络活动^{(Web Activities)}的所有内容都是来自 Chrome 的活动。

如何为Google Chrome配置^{(Google Chrome)}网络活动^{(Web Activities)}

关于Web 活动^{(Web Activities)}扩展的工作方式，您只能更改一个方面。如果您已经登录，当您单击/点击地址栏^{(address bar)}附近的扩展按钮时，您可以更改“新网页浏览在”^{("New web browsing opens in")} “默认浏览器”^{("Default Browser")}或Microsoft Edge中打开。

如果您选择“默认浏览器”，那么您在^{("Default Browser,")}时间轴^(Timeline)中单击或点击的任何Google Chrome - Web 活动项目^{(Web Activities item)}都会在您的默认 Web 浏览器中打开。如果您选择Microsoft Edge，您的 Chrome 活动将始终使用Edge打开，而不是使用其他网络浏览器^{(web browser)}打开，即使它被设置为您的默认值。

您是否更喜欢Timeline^{(Timeline better)}，因为它可以与Google Chrome一起使用？

许多Windows Insider^{(Windows Insiders)}希望微软^(Microsoft)将Windows 10 时间线^(Timeline)与Google Chrome集成。如您所见，Microsoft听取并为此Web 浏览器^{(web browser)}开发了一个扩展程序，使两者协同工作。然而，我们觉得他们为它选择的名字并不是一个有灵感的名字。除非您知道要查找什么，否则您会考虑搜索Web 活动^{(Web Activities)}吗？例如，为什么不将其称为 Windows 10 Timeline？在结束本教程之前，请告诉我们您的想法：您是否更喜欢Timeline，因为它已与Google Chrome集成？

How to use Windows 10's Timeline with Google Chrome

The Timeline is one of the most useful features added in recent versions of Windows 10. It offers an excellent way to continue your work from one device and onto another. However, one of the main flaws of the Timeline was that, up until now, it was not able to work with Google Chrome. Which meant that you could pick up your web activities from where you left off, only if you used Microsoft Edge. That is no longer the case, as Microsoft released an extension for Google Chrome that makes it compatible with the Timeline. The extension is called Web Activities and, in this article, we show you how to get it and how to use it:

NOTE: The Timeline is available only in Windows 10 April 2018 Update or newer. Also, before going further, if you do not already know how to enable it and how to use it, first read: What is the Timeline in Windows 10 and how to use it to resume past activities.

How to get the Web Activities extension for Google Chrome

If you want to use the Timeline from Windows 10 with Google Chrome, you must first install the Chrome extension called Web Activities. It is developed by Microsoft, and it is available in the Chrome Web Store. If you do not want to search for it, open your Google Chrome browser and follow this direct link: Web Activities. On the extension's page, click or tap the "Add to Chrome" button.

Google Chrome should ask whether you are sure that you want to "Add Web Activities." Press the "Add extension" button.

Wait for a few moments so that the web extension is downloaded, installed and loaded in Google Chrome.

When it is done, a new button appears on the right side of Chrome's address bar. It is worth noting that its icon looks similar to the Task View icon found on the Windows 10 taskbar. Click or tap the Web Activities button.

How to make Google Chrome work with the Windows 10 Timeline

When you press the Web Activities button from Google Chrome for the first time, you only get one option: to Sign in. You need to do that so that your Timeline can sync your browsing history from Google Chrome. Click or tap Sign in.

A large pop-up window opens up: type your Microsoft account, and press Next.

On the next step, enter your Microsoft account password and press Sign in. Additionally, if you enabled 2-factor authentication for your Microsoft account, you must also complete the secondary authentication step, which can mean that you have to do something like entering a temporary code or approve a notification on your smartphone.

Once you have been authenticated into your Microsoft account, the Web Activities extension for Google Chrome asks you to let it access your Microsoft account information. Choose Yes to allow it; otherwise, the extension cannot work.

That is all you have to do to make Google Chrome work with the Timeline from Windows 10.

How to use Windows 10's Timeline with Google Chrome

From here on, you can find your browsing history from Google Chrome in your Timeline, on every Windows 10 PC or device you enabled it on.

Although you would expect to see your browsing history in the Timeline labeled as activity from Google Chrome, do not look for that. Instead, check for Web Activities. Everything marked with Web Activities is an activity from Chrome.

How to configure Web Activities for Google Chrome

There is only one aspect that you can change about how the Web Activities extension works. If you are already signed in, when you click/tap on the extension's button near the address bar, you can change whether "New web browsing opens in" the "Default Browser" or in Microsoft Edge.

If you choose "Default Browser," then any Google Chrome - Web Activities item that you click or tap on in your Timeline, opens in your default web browser. If you choose Microsoft Edge, your Chrome activities are always opened with Edge, never with another web browser, even if it is set as your default.

Do you like the Timeline better, now that it works with Google Chrome?

Many Windows Insiders wanted Microsoft to integrate the Windows 10 Timeline with Google Chrome. As you have seen, Microsoft listened and developed an extension for this web browser that makes the two work together. However, we feel that the name they chose for it is not an inspired one. Unless you know what to look for, would you think about searching for Web Activities? Why not call it Windows 10 Timeline, for instance? Before closing this tutorial, tell us what you think: do you like the Timeline better, now that it is integrated with Google Chrome?
