Google Chrome Beta for ICS

BIG BIG issue for me.
No way to exit with continuously hitting the back key.
With Dolphin HD you can gesture or hit menu/exit at any time now matter how deep you are.

go to the "tab" view, and swipe away all your tabs so you are left with just the grey background, then hit the back button once and it should go away.

Love the chrome to mobile ability of sending a page from my desktop to my GN.

Does anyone know if you can save a page for offline viewing. I generally do this with flight boarding passes in case I lose data connection when I'm boarding my flight. The stock browser can save a page but has this stupidly annoying habit of reloading the page every time I bring it up which completely defeats the purpose of it being offline viewable.

I think this browser rocks! It's noticeably faster for me, the text is rendered beautifully, and the menu/tabs system is much more intuitive. Love how seamlessly it syncs to my Chrome desktop.

i just downloaded it, and the first thing I noticed before even opening up the app was that it added it's own "quick search bar" ontop of my home screen. So not only would i have the quick search bar that is labeled "Google" (the default one) On top of that and aligned slightly higher is the new search bar.

Did anyone else experience this? If so how do i remove it?! had to uninstall chrome to fix it. I'm running Nova Launcher if that helps

Mine didn't put it. Are you saying it didn't work to press and hold, and drag it to the trashcan like a widget?

What do you mean "exit?" Sorry if I'm being stupid, but if I want to stop using the browser I just hit the home key. If I want the app out of the multitasker I just hit the window key and swipe it away.

i like the browser, i wish it had a setting to not open each page in overview and remember the zoom you like, like most browsers do.

all the other stuff is really nice.

It seems to have learned the zoom I like within each session, so as I navigate around a site I don't have to zoom.

But each new session I guess it must start over.

Anybody figure out how to set a home page? I must be missing something...

once it gets full flash support it will be incredible.

It's not going to get it. Adobe announced it will no longer develop/support for mobile browsers. So if you come out with a new browser, you no get Flash plug-in.

It's not going to happen.

No but it honors your Android Bookmark widget. So if it's important to you that every session start on the same page, you should put a widget for that page on your desktop. Same exact thing would happen as touching the Chrome icon and going to a home page.

I tend to use 5 or 6 sites more than any other, so for me it's fine if they just stay there as tabs in Chrome Android. And I use the Bookmark Widget that is 3x3 (and is keyed to the bookmarks in your Bookmarks Bar in Chrome).

Thats exactly what im saying. It wouldnt even let me grab it like a normal widget

I like it but it is killing my battery like no other app I've downloaded before. Sticking with the stock browser for now.

It's just syncing your settings. It should settle down in a bit.

Hi all

I'm using Chrome Beta on my Asus TF tablet. I mainly got it as I love chrome on my pc but also for the fact it has the Bookmark Bar, is there any way to get this in Beta or will i have to wait for an add on or later update?
