Chrome for Android goes global: adds languages, supported countries, and new features

Mr.Geek — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 18:12:24 +0000

Chrome for Android has become the best browser app on Android for me. The only shortcoming is that it doesn’t support Adobe Flash, something I use often, so it’s not an exclusive option for me. But if you’re someone who doesn’t care about Flash and have been patiently waiting for Chrome to work outside of the United States, I’ve got good news and better news you might want to hear. Google announced today that Chrome for Android is now available anywhere with access to Google Play, provided that you have an Android 4.0 phone or tablet. In addition to crossing more borders, the browser now includes 31 languages in case you wish to localize it into your native or local tongue. It’s the latest in a short string of incremental updates that have made Google’s products available in more non-U.S
