Download Google Chrome Browser For Android

The wait is finally over. The fast-growing browser, Google Chrome, lands on the Android platform. Google has just made the beta version of Google Chrome browser available to download in the Android market. Although there are already so many powerful browsers available for the Android platform such as Dolphin, Mozilla or Opera Mini, but this news will surely make Chrome lovers happy who have been waiting to get their hands on Chrome browser in Android phone for a long time.

Simplicity is the mantra for Google. That’s the reason they have designed the tabs and interface of Chrome Android version so simple, which echoes the desktop version of Google Chrome. You can flip or swipe between an unlimited number of tabs using intuitive gestures, as if you’re holding a deck of cards in the palm of your hands, each one a new window to the web. Here is a preview of the Android version of Chrome browser.

Those of you who use desktop version of Chrome, you’ll have an advantage. You can sign into Chrome in your Android device and access the tabs you left open on your computer. Isn’t it awesome? Also, the Omnibox feature is present that combines the address bar and search box into one single area. By default, ‘Search as you type’ feature is enabled but you can disable it anytime by going through the settings.

Signing into Chrome for Android will also sync bookmarks from your PC’s Chrome so that you can access your favorite websites in no time. Just like desktop version, Chrome for Android also has ‘Incognito’ mode, which when enabled, allows user to browse the web privately. There are so many features present in Android version of Chrome browser which you can read over here.

The browser is launched in the beta stage, and I’m sure it’ll soon be updated to stable version, as Chrome development team has a bad habit to release a new version of the browser every six weeks. However, Google says ‘This is the full Chrome with full functionality and powerful features’. That might be the reason Chrome for Android is available only for devices running ‘Android version 4.0 – Ice Cream Sandwich‘.

There are currently not many phones running Ice Cream Sandwich but Google will soon be rolling out the official ICS update for all compatible devices. As of now, Samsung’s Galaxy Nexus, Nexus S smartphones, Motorola Xoom and Asus Transformer Prime tablets are amongst the few powerful devices in which you can use Chrome browser smoothly. All future ICS updated Android devices will be able to run Chrome for sure. You can download Google Chrome For Android from the Android Market.
