Chrome Beta for Android Update

Chrome Beta for Android has been updated to 25.0.1364.64 on Google Play. This build will be rolling out over the next few hours. This update contains a number of fixes, including:

Updated graphics architecture that greatly improves fast scrolling on large pages
163439 - yahoo.com page links are not working
166233 - Cannot submit comments on facebook posts or pictures
169616 - Keyboard pops up after Chrome is closed
170653 - Scroll position is reset momentarily when double-tapping in footer/gutter on some pages

Known Issues:

Lower resolution/blurry content takes time to sharpen during rapid scrolling on certain websites.
Graphical corruption and flicker on some sites, particularly on maps.google.com (reloading the page can mitigate this issue).
Text autosizing may break formatting on some sites.
169918: Text selection and text input handles appear at incorrect positions
158633: Overaggressive tap disambiguation popup
Increased number of sad tabs/tab crashes.

A partial list of changes in this build is available in the SVN revision log. If you find a new issue, please let us know by filing a bug. More information about Chrome for Android is available on the Chrome site.

Matt Stow said...: No matter how good Chrome for Android gets, I will never use it unless it implements reflowing of zoomed text, just like the AOSP Browser. It is my most used feature and I could not live without it.

I logged a bug/feature request ages ago, here: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=136329; 7:07 PM, February 01, 2013

ashgtx said...: Blank white pages only :-(
All tabs load but show only a white background. No contents. On an S2 running ICS stock.; 5:34 AM, February 02, 2013
CC said...: 1. I still do not see anything about the auto-translate feature - which would finally bring something to differentiate the program from all the other browsers that are faster and/or smaller.

2. Still the beta does not work with stuff like Adblock - that stuff works perfectly in the non-beta version or in the stock browser.; 6:05 AM, February 02, 2013

Sterling said...: BTW, why is it that after this update all sites are zoomed-in more than before? I don't mean the known issue of some sites loading zoomed in, I mean that now all sites load with almost no side borders.; 2:48 PM, February 02, 2013
