    ...I just received my unlocked galaxy nexus, now I can download this and play around with it and see how great it is.

    A super minor revision deserves an article? Really?

    First, this is pipeline, which is designed to be short-form and quick, but more than the usual blogspam or - how fast can you read a press release and reword it - type stuff that others do.

    Second, I think it's worth investigating whether there are any significant changes in JavaScript and rendering performance, especially because Chrome for Android is basically the new de-facto best browser for that platform. In this case, there aren't any major changes to perf - that alone is still noteworthy, at least to me.

    Changing the oil in my vehicles should get CNN coverage I guess.

    I for one liked this little post. isn't that what Pipeline is all about? I was wondering why I could suddenly download Chrome Beta for Android on my newly ICS minted Transformer, and now I know why. Thanks!

    I still can't tell how Chrome on Android decides if the tab stacks should be horizontal or vertical, it doesn't seem related to the number open. It also has a slower startup than the stock Android browser right now, probably since its not integrated into the OS. It also takes longer than any other app to open up the Swype keyboard in. It needs some work, but the UI is by far the best browser UI on a smartphone IMO.

    For all you whiny weenies claiming, "Big Deal!".....Shut it!

    This is vastly significant. The Android platform will now have a modern browser that is always up to date despite the shitty carriers.

    This is what freedom smells like. This is a positive step. This specific update..maybe not...but 20 chrome updates from now..this milestone will be significant.

    the one thing I love about the stock Browser is that I'm not limited by being on a mobile device. I don't have to suffer being served up the mobile version of a page, with different content, nor do I have to skip out on pages with Flash content.

    With smartphone screens pushing 5", and at better resolutions than some netbooks, why should I be denied content because of the device I'm on?
