    Default Chrome Web Browser Finally Comes to Android Phones, Tablets

    Android is finally getting Chromed out.



    Google launched a beta version of Chrome for Android smartphones and tablets Tuesday, delivering a mobile version of the popular desktop web browser after a very long wait. Indeed, both Android and Chrome launched more than three years ago, and users have demanded unification ever since.

    Why bemoan the long wait? Much like the company’s other products and services, the new Chrome app hooks wonderfully into the Google universe, giving those immersed in desktop Google apps even more incentive to choose Android as their mobile OS. So, naturally, we would hope — nay, expect — that Chrome would be the default browser for the Android OS.

    I agree, I can see the need to push html5 but if it is not popular then try to raise awareness, but I still think it should be included

    Which is why I am not so keen to ditch Dolphin HD. Flash is still necessary as tons of sites are still in Flash or delivering flash content.
