Google Photos Memories is the best feature to look back and remember our important photos from years past. It uses machine learning to bring pictures of important moments in our life to our memory. Not just on the Google Photos app, you can bring the Memories feature on your desktop PC as well via the Chrome browser. Here is how to get it.
Not just the shortcuts, you can add various other information to Chrome’s new tab page via cards. For example, you can enable Google Photos Memories on the new tab page. The Memories view card helps users rediscover their old photos and videos on their desktop PC. Here is how to get the feature on your Google Chrome browser.
Google Photos Memories for desktop is currently an experimental feature and it works on Windows, Mac, Linux, Chrome OS, and Fuchsia.

We have tested this feature with Chrome Beta version 97. But, since it is an experimental feature, Google may remove it from the browser in future development. So, if you cannot find this feature in your Chrome beta version, you may check it in the stable build.
Update: Google Photos memories card is available with Chrome stable version 102. Though still it is an experimental feature, it works flawlessly.
