Opera was one of the first mobile browsers to integrate data compression to save bandwidth usage. Google and Opera&#8217;s implementation of data compression is similar, both utilizing server-side compression. Webpages will be compressed at Google&#8217;s servers before being fed to users on their mobile devices. HTTPS requests will ignore being compressed so private information doesn&#8217;t reach Google&#8217;s compression servers.<\/p>\n<p>Google claims that their compression method will reduce bandwidth by over 60%. The company achieves this by transcoding images from their native formats to the smaller and optimized WebP format.<\/p>\n<p>Other updates in this beta release password and autofill syncing, which is super handy. This feature is being rolled out slowly so it may be a day or two until all Chrome beta users on Android get the functionality.<\/p>\n<p>To get the latest version of the Chrome beta for Android, click <a title=\"google chrome beta\" href=\"http:\/\/chrome-beta.en.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a title=\"chromium blog\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.chromium.org\/2013\/03\/data-compression-in-chrome-beta-for.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chromium Blog<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google just updated the stable version of Chrome for Android with background audio, but the development of the mobile browser hasn&#8217;t stopped.
