When Google had announced an Android version of its popular desktop web browser, we were sure that it will retain the simplicity, speed and functions on our Android phones. The app remained in beta status for long and then it was finally free of the ‘beta’ tag’ and hit our phones. The regular version of this nice app is already available on the Play Store and is pretty stable. At a time when the regular Chrome app for Android has already become a favorite among Android users, Google is not willing to stop the beta program for Chrome browser for Android.
Google is still trying hard to make this browser for Android phones as perfect as an app could be. And this wish has made Google to run an additional beta version test program off the scene and fix all reported bugs. Continuing its Chrome improvement mission, Google has now released the first update to the Chrome Beta for Android that brings a lot of improvements and bug fixes. With the latest update, the app’s version has been bumped to 25.0.1364.33.
