Thursday, August 22, 2013
The Chrome team is excited to announce the promotion of Chrome 30 to the Beta channel for Android. Chrome 30.0.1599.17, which will be
available in Google Play
over the next few hours, contains a number of new features, fixes, and improvements, including:
Search by image: Long press on any image and select the option to search Google for content related to that image
Easy access to tab switcher: Drag down from the toolbar to enter tab switcher
Draggable menu: Simply drag your finger to select the menu item you need
Side swipe on toolbar to switch tabs: You can now switch tabs by swiping left or right on the toolbar. To avoid accidental interaction with page content, we have disabled tab switching using side swipe on page content area
Easy zoom gesture: Zoom into your preferred magnification on any desktop web site by double tapping on the page and swiping your finger up-down without lifting it
WebGL: A JavaScript API for rendering interactive 3D graphics and 2D graphics has been enabled by default
