In the beta version of Chrome for Android added password synchronization, data compression through SPDY proxy

Yes, quite a bit of time passed, after the publication of news about the possible appearance of data compression in new versions of Chrome (by redirecting traffic through Google servers), and it was this new version that was announced by the developers. Among other things, one more function was added - password synchronization and auto-completion of fields.

In general, the principle of synchronization work is about the same as in many favorite Xmarks. Passwords and autofill data are synchronized with the central server, and as a result you can use the same data on different devices with Chrome (including desktop PCs, tablets, smartphones, laptops).

As for data compression, everything is exactly as described here in this news. The traffic that the user requests is initially passed through the SPDY proxy by Google. As a result, pages are optimized for viewing on mobile (and not so) devices, which makes it possible to speed up page loading for devices connected to the Network via a “narrow” wireless connection.



Among other things, this compression saves traffic, which is important for networks with high prices for received / transmitted data. Of course, browsers like Opera Mobile work in much the same way, but Google went its own way, using its SPDY servers and PageSpeed ​​technology.

To use data compression technology, you need to download the latest Chrome beta for Android from here , and type “chrome: // flags” in the address bar to select the data compression option.
