The Chrome browser for
Android received a rather nice update over the wee hours last night, and now
it’s finally up to par with the beta version. If you’re one to wait for the
stable channel and not toy with beta apps, the official Chrome for Android
upgrade brought many features we’ve been enjoying for some time. Thanks to
Google working hard and fast, today we have some awesome new features to make
browsing on our Android tablets and smartphones even better. The most important
feature is probably fullscreen browsing mode. While you scroll down the action
bar disappears, and a quick flip up and it will return for instant navigation
or entering a new address.This was added way back in May to
the beta, but now it’s available to everyone. More importantly, the fullscreen
experience is now available on tablets, which previously wasn’t being offered.
Google’s also added in what they’re calling the Translation bar. When a page is
in another language you can instantly hit the bar for a translation, then again
to go back to the standard language. There’s also addition support for
right-to-left languages, for those backwards reading web layouts in Arabic,
Farsi, and Hebrew. We’re also hearing the bandwidth saving data compression
feature found in the latest beta is included in this update, but the Play Store
doesn’t make mention of it. Get the latest Chrome browser for Android and
enjoy. It’s free. It’s not unlike the
Turbo feature found in the Finnish Opera browser.
