The browser wars just got interesting again.
On Tuesday, Google will introduce its Chrome browser for phones and tablets that run the latest version of its Android operating system, Android 4.0 (or, what Google calls “Ice Cream Sandwich”). Chrome’s mobile browser is as speedy as its desktop counterpart, but incorporates a few bells and whistles too.
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. It includes a feature that lets users quickly search for terms within tabs. And, like Chrome’s desktop version, it offers an incognito mode that allows users to surf the Web in private.
