Bookmarks, History, Recent Tabs and Reading List are now presented as cards on iOS 13.
The ability to add a new credit card directly in Chrome from the settings page.

Assuming they're using iOS 13 Chrome users will also notice that Bookmarks, History, Recent Tabs, and Reading List are all shown as cards within Chrome.
