Ice cream sandwich eaters -- or, you know, people using Android devices running version 4.0 -- can now download Google’s Beta Chrome web browser on their mobile devices.

“Yep, the browser on your phone can be just like the one on your computer, tabs and all. Imagine that.”

When Google says “tabs and all,” they actually mean it. Wired explains.

“If you’re already a desktop Chrome user, your bookmarks will be synced across all your browser versions … Even cooler, if you’ve left pages open on your laptop at home, you can access those same open tabs from your mobile Chrome browser.”

Chrome for Android also attempts to solve an age-old problem for touchscreen users. The New York Times explains…

“ The mobile version attempts to solve the fat-fingers-small-screen problem with a “link preview” feature that automatically zooms in on links to help users avoid accidentally selecting the wrong one..”

With so many improvements on a browser that overtook Firefox as the second most used on desktop computers, the Guardian points out Google’s game-plan is beginning to look familiar.

“The development is yet another sign that Google is deploying a strategy very similar to Apple's – tying customers into the brand on whatever screen they happen to be using. Unlike Apple, Google does not manufacture hardware, and wants its software to be available on any device its users choose to buy.”
