“A high-speed browsing experience”

by Christopher Park about Chrome

Enjoy simple and quick web browsing with Chrome for Android 4.0.

While there are many web browsers for Android, the beta of Chrome is easily the fastest. Much like its partner for desktops, Chrome is dedicated to loading websites and allowing you to browse quickly.

If you have used Chrome before, Chrome on Android will be familiar. The interface is optimized for small screens and most websites load in their native versions, meaning you are not going to be looking at mobile versions of sites.

Chrome connects to your Google account and can import your bookmarks. The connected accounts also send pages from desktop Chrome to your device to read later.

Text heavy sites are easy to read and do not require a lot of zooming. Chrome’s scaling of pages is very intelligent and does not skew text in favor of sidebars.

Looking at YouTube and Vimeo, Chrome had no problems opening and playing video. YouTube opens into full screen in landscape mode and it was possible to play a video inside Chrome on the Vimeo website.

Tabbed browsing in Chrome is the best available on any mobile browser. In Tab view, tabs sit behind each other, shifting up and down as you tile your device. There is no lag between opening different tabs and even with six tabs; Chrome was still able to open content within a couple seconds.

Chrome’s simplicity and performance shoots it past any other browser available.

Pros
  • Fast performance
  • Best tabbed browsing
  • Readable text
Cons
  • Currently only for Android 4.0
  • No Flash support
