Chrome 28 just landed in the beta track for Android, bringing with it a couple of fun features. First and foremost is that it ties into Google Translate, just like on the big-boy browser. Run across a page that's not in your default language, and it'll ask if you want it translated. You also can go full screen on tablets, so it's go that going for it, which is nice. And if you opt in, you can see a graph showing how much bandwidth you're saving using experimental compression. Go to Settings>Bandwidth management to turn that on if you're not asked automatically. Hit the link above to get your download on. Source: Chrome release blog

Full screen browsing for tablets and automatic page translation highlight the changes for the latest Chrome for Android beta Chrome beta for Android has been updated to version 28 (28.0.1500.21), bringing a number of requested features along with the new code base. Tablets now have the same full screen experience that phones have as of version 27, as the toolbar and omnibox simply disappear as you scroll down the page. In addition, automatic translate for pages not in the device's native language is available, just like users are used to on the desktop. Here's the bullet point change log: Google Translate: 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 Fullscreen on tablets: Simply scroll the page to dismiss the toolbar Support for fullscreen API New graph showing your estimated bandwidth savings when you use the experimental data compression feature Mobile friendly error pages The jury is still out about any speed increases, but my first impressions are favorable. If you're following the Chrome browser beta track for Android, grab today's update in Google Play or from the link above. Source: Google Chrome team

Following the release of beta features to Chrome stable yesterday, the beta channel of Chrome for Android was promoted to version 28 today. The update brings a number of desired additions and improvements, all of which I will break down for you below. The Chrome team is excited to announce the promotion of Chrome 28 to the Beta channel. Chrome for Android 28.0.1500.21 contains a number of new improvements including: Google Translate: 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 Fullscreen on tablets: Simply scroll the page to dismiss the toolbar Support for fullscreen API  New graph showing your estimated bandwidth savings when you use the experimental data compression feature Mobile friendly error pages Google Translate Here's what Chrome's new mobile-friendly Translate bar looks like if you visit a site with a language different from your device's (for example, newsru.com):    I find built-in translation support to be one of Chrome's most useful features, so I applaud Google for finally bringing it to Android.
