molumen said...: A version supporting MIPS-based processors (like the XBurst CPU in the very popular Ainol tablets) would be great. MIPS-based devices running ICS are being sold everyday by the thousands, and it's a growing user base that IMO Google shouldn't disregard. :); 1:55 PM, March 11, 2012
Pepijn ten Berge said...: Good browser but I don't like the fact they are not using native ui elements. Everything is custom. I believe this is not a good thing for Android.; 5:59 AM, March 16, 2012

James Mason said...: Really nice browser. I can't wait for updates with more features that make the integration with desktop chrome more seamless.

Please add chrome://flags, so that we have a way to enable experimental features, like password sync.; 6:55 PM, March 19, 2012
