Dan Alcantara and Oli Lan, Chrome developers for Android
In 2008, we
launched Google Chrome to make it even more convenient to work on the web. Now millions of people around the world prefer this particular browser, and we are constantly striving to make it even better. Today we present the beta version of Chrome for Android in Russian. Now many familiar browser features and new features are available on smartphones and tablets running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Just as in the PC version, the main advantages of the Chrome beta for Android are speed and simplicity. Thanks to the automatic access feature, you don’t have to constantly enter your username and password when logging in to various Google services. And synchronization with your Chrome browser on your computer allows you to use the same settings on all devices with which you work!

SpeedIn Google Chrome for Android, searching, navigating and browsing pages is traditionally
fast . The search query results are loaded as you type it, so you see the answer instantly. And of course, you can always use the
address bar as a search engine.

Simplicity- On the small screen of a mobile phone, the most difficult thing is to “catch” the link you are interested in. This problem is solved by the function Link Preview (Preview links), which allows you to increase the desired portion of the page.
- As with Chrome for PC, we took care of data privacy. For example, you can open windows in incognito mode or change privacy settings (Settings-Privacy).
- Tabs are equally convenient to view both on a small smartphone screen and on a tablet with a larger diagonal. You can flip through them with your finger - as if you were holding a deck of cards. The number of tabs is unlimited.
- Ability to select and switch between normal and mobile versions of sites.
- Quick access to sites and the ability to add shortcuts to sites on the home screen.
- Choosing the default application for opening links

Authorization
Now all your personalized Chrome PC browser settings are available on your mobile device. When you install Chrome on your Android device and sign in to your account, you can:
- View open tabs: all tabs opened in the Chrome browser on your computer are also available on your mobile device. You can continue to work exactly from the same place where you stopped
- Get more relevant tips: if you often visit the site on your computer, then on your mobile device you will see the actual tips for you. This means that you will spend less time entering the query.
- Sync bookmarks: no matter which device you are working with Chrome from. You will always have convenient and quick access to your favorite sites.
Additional functionsUsers often need to download an image or .mp3 file to a mobile phone or tablet. This is now very easy to do - just hold down the desired link and then select “Save file / link as”). If the wi-fi network requires the use of a proxy server, then Chrome for Android beta supports proxy settings.
