Chrome 27 for Android is out: Fullscreen on phones, simplified searching, tab history on tablets, and more
Just a day after releasing Chrome 27 on the desktop, Google on Wednesday announced the release of Chrome 27 for Android, adding fullscreen support on phones and a tab history option on tablets. You can download the latest version now directly from Google Play.
The device-type features are fairly straightforward. To access the new fullscreen function on an Android phone, just scroll down the page and the toolbar will disappear (sidenote: full screen support for iOS arrived Chrome 26 stable). When you scroll back up, the toolbar returns automatically.
The full Chrome 27.0.1453.90 for Android changelog is as follows:
Fullscreen on phones – Scroll down the page and the toolbar will disappear.
Simpler searching – Searching from the omnibox will keep your search query visible in the omnibox, making it easier to edit, and show more on your search result page.
Client-side certificate support – You can now access sites that require you to use a certificate and Chrome will allow you to select an installed certificate.
Tab history on tablets – Long press the browser back button to view your tab history.
And a ton of stability and performance fixes.
