Chrome 56 comes to android with fast reload and other improvements

The new Google Chrome 56 browser finally comes to Android with the novelty of rapid reloading of tabs, which should make browsing for mobile and tablets faster with Android systems.

Chrome 56 for Android, faster than ever

Chrome 56 arrived very recently to desktop computers and now it's the turn of the Android platform.

The version number is specifically 56.0.2924.87, an update to the Chrome browser that will facilitate navigation with a series of small additions.

Some of its news

• From now on, you will be able to access the mail or phone application by clicking on an email address or a mobile phone number. Now we will be able to more easily access the downloaded items, both files and saved pages, using a new tab In Chrome 56, a function was added with which we can view a suggested page offline by pressing and holding on them. The articles will be downloaded to the phone in the background.

As is already the case in Chrome 56 for computers, rapid reloading of tabs should speed this process up to 28%, which translates into faster navigation and significant battery savings.

Chrome for Android still has much to improve so that it can be compared to other proposals such as Dolphin, Opera or Firefox, which take the Google browser on Smartphones a lot of advantage. What we find curious is that Google Chrome does not support extensions in its Android version, something that has been present on computers for years.
