Today's update for Chrome Beta helps alleviate some issues and improves the overall stability of the mobile browser application for Android. The update contains fixes for "frequently occurring crashes," according to Google's official Chrome Releases blog, and it gives page rendering performance a bump. The newest update also fixes a few pesky annoyances: eliminating a bug that would prevent users from scrolling through a webpage after zooming into an image and removing the blue line that would sometimes display below the omnibox.
The last major Chrome Beta for Android update hit earlier this month, when the Chrome Team released version 27 to the Beta channel. That release included the ability to search a query directly from the browser's omnibox. It enabled full-screen browsing on phones and made tab history for tablets available with a long press of the back button too. Google did launch a smaller update last week for only ARM and x86 devices, which fixed flickering when opening new tabs and eliminated duplicate items in the history.
You can try out Google Chrome Beta yourself in the Google Play store alongside the regular version of Chrome. Keep in mind, some of its new features may sometimes "be a little rough around the edges"—as evidenced by a steady stream of updates.
