The latest news from the Google Chrome team
Browse the web across languages, on the go
Thursday, May 23, 2013
Today’s
Chrome Beta for Android
release brings the built-in translation bar you’ve seen on desktop Chrome to help you read more of the web while you’re on the go, regardless of the language of the web page. When you come across a page written in a language that isn't in the same language as your phone or tablet, look for the translation bar. To translate the page, touch the “Translate” button.
Following
fullscreen support on phones
, we are now adding fullscreen on tablets as well. As you scroll, the top toolbar disappears so you can immerse yourself in the web page content. Finally, on phones, a “+” in the toolbar now makes creating tabs even easier.
For those of you trying out our
experimental data compression feature
, you can see a graph (under “Settings > Bandwidth Management”) that shows your estimated bandwidth savings.
The latest version of Chrome Beta for Android is available on
Google Play
. We look forward to your early
feedback
.
