Chrome for Android gets updated

In case you haven’t noticed the pattern, every Wednesday Google tends to update some of its apps, and now it would seem Chrome is getting treated to an update.

While many of you might not be getting it exactly on Wednesday (As you can see, I only notified on Thursday) due to the staged roll-out, it was definitely released yesterday and you can now know what to expect to get sometime in the next few days.

So, what have we gotten here? First of all, we have the usual security fixes and some additional bug fixes, to improve the overall experience, but as far as actual new features go, we see the return of Doodles on the new tab page.

The Doodle means that when you open a new tab, you’ll be greeted by a friendly Doodle. In addition, you get improved text rendering on sites that aren’t mobile-supportive.

So, in case the update is not with you as of yet, grab some patience as Google’s staged roll-out tends to be somewhat of a bother. Don’t worry, you’ll get it eventually. Here’s the official update log:

·       Improved text rendering on non-mobile optimized sites.

·       Doodles return to the new tabs page.

·       Bug fixes, security patches and performance improvements.
