Google Chrome for Android 4.0

If I’m not wrong since 2008 the Google Chrome became the most popular browser among the millions of people around the world. Understanding its popularity & success the Google has now introduced it for Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich smartphones and tablet.

Just like the desktop version, the Chrome for Android Beta is designed by keeping speed & simplicity in mind. With seamless sign-in and sync features you can personalised your browsing experience from where you want at your finger tips.

The Chrome Beta for Android brings Google’s desktop and mobile browsers together by bringing most of the desktop features such as tabbed browsing, Incognito mode and bookmark syncing to your smartphone and tablet.

It uses hardware acceleration to make your browsing smoother & snappier and also put desktop bookmarks on the mobile browser’s new tab page preventing them from mixing with other bookmarks.

Chrome for Android also includes some HTML5 features such as Web Workers that allow Web apps to update automatically. Unfortunately it doesn’t support plug-ins and can’t be used on the devices supporting other Android versions.
