Google has released Chrome browser
for Android. After using the app for a while, I have to say that it is
absolutely fantastic. The only bad news is that it is available only for
phones running Android 4.0 ( Ice Cream Sandwich ).
Let us take a look into the features that Chrome for Android offers with screenshots.
The first thing that you will notice is
that, it does not use ICS's dark and blue theme. Perhaps this was an
intentional design decision to separate it from the stock ICS browser. Like the stock browser, however, the tabs can be accessed by tapping the icon to the right of the ombibar. Unlike in the stock browser, the number of open tabs are indicated.
This is the tab switching screen in
Chrome. Users can move the tabs horizontally in landscape mode and
vertically in portrait mode. The tabs switching screen in landscape mode
is shown below.
As you might have seen in the previous
image, Chrome for Android supports incognito mode. If you use Chrome on
the desktop you would know what it does, for those who do not know, it
is basically a private mode - no data from this session is saved and the
auto-login for websites is disabled.
On the tabs switching screen the
incognito tabs are shown under the regular tabs in landscape mode and to
the right in portrait mode.
The app has so many subtle animations
that are difficult to capture with a screenshot. What the above
screenshot shows is how tabs are closed - you simply swipe it to the
side, in portrait mode, and up or down, in landscape mode.
So far we have looked at only the UI of the app. However, that is not the best part of Chrome for Android.
Chrome for Android supports Chrome Sync.
If you have set up Chrome Sync in your desktop installation of Chrome,
you can get all your bookmarks, passwords, frequently visited websites
etc. on your Android phone.
