Once entered Android, as you open a new Tab you will find the recently visited pages, bookmarks and synced tabs from your desktop’s chrome or chrome on other devices such as your tablet (discussed later on). Chrome’s omnibox is more than welcome, in this regard. I have always disliked the separate text boxes as I almost always happen to type the search query in the Address bar. The Opera Mini has two separate boxes for search and URLs. When comparing the UI to that of Opera Mini, I appreciate the Opera Mini nice UI equally if not less (and in fact it’s not about appreciating, it’s more of a matter of being habitual). Next to it lies a button to switch between the open tabs while at the very end lies the ellipsis button for more options. Within the omnibox is the refresh button. The UI is minimal, comprising of the omnibox on the top that is the address bar and the search box in one. Let’s get started with the comparison/ evaluation. Fortunately or unfortunately the browser has tremendous resemblance with Dolphin HD, another very famous browser for Android. Google Chrome for Android is essentially the same as the browser for desktop. If you have a device, Google Nexus or ICS powered tablet you can find the new family member right on the Android Market. Google released a beta version of Google Chrome for Android devices running 4 version codename Ice cream sand witch last day. As I am mostly used to Opera Mini browser on my mobile devices, I shall compare the two browsers in my post. After working with the Chrome browser for the entire day I have gathered my impressions about the browser what is good, what is yet to be improved. Today is the day! Finally my favourite browser Google Chrome has hit the Android Market well, when I am already quiet in habit of its rivals Opera Mini and Mozilla’s Firefox on my android device.
