The beta release is designed for tablets with the latest release of Android, Android 4.0, also know as the Ice Cream Sandwich version. 

“Chrome for Android is designed from the ground up for mobile devices. We re-imagined tabs so they fit just as naturally on a small-screen phone as they do on a larger screen tablet,” said Sundar Pichai, Google’s senior VP of Chrome and Apps, in a blog post. “You can flip or swipe between an unlimited number of tabs using intuitive gestures, as  if you’re holding a deck of cards in the palm of your hands, each one a new window to the web.” 

Current Chrome users can extend the desktop experience to their Android device. For example, by signing in you can access the tabs you left open on your computer (also signed into Chrome) and pick up exactly where you left off.

Also, Google says if you visit a site often on your computer, you'll get the same autocomplete suggestion for it on your mobile device. Chrome for Android also lets you sync the same bookmarks you may already have set up so they’re accessible from Android devices. 

Like its desktop counterpart, Pichai says Chrome for Android includes privacy features such as incognito mode for private browsing and “fine-grained” privacy options (accessible with a tap of the menu icon, ‘Settings,’ and then ‘Privacy’).

The Chrome for Android beta is available for free download at Google’s Android Market.
