According to online sources, the mobile version of the Google Chrome browser for the Android platform has been downloaded by users from the official Play Store content store more than 5 billion times. Few applications, which, as a rule, belong to the Google ecosystem, can boast of this indicator. Previously, YouTube, Gmail, and Google Maps surpassed the milestone of 5 billion downloads.
It is worth noting that the Chrome browser, like many other company applications, is pre-installed on a huge number of devices. Considering that the owners of these gadgets did not necessarily plan to install this or that application, the 5 billion installation mark cannot be considered a benchmark for popularity.
Despite this, Google Chrome continues to be one of the most popular browsers among Android device owners. The developers continue to improve it, adding new functions and optimizing its performance. For those who want to be the first to try the new features, there is a beta version of the program that is available in the Play Store.
According to reports, the mobile version of Chrome will soon have a picture-in-picture mode that will allow you to show videos playing in the window of other applications. Previously, this mode appeared in the desktop version of Chrome, as well as in some other Google applications for the Android mobile platform. This means that the development team is constantly working to transfer the functionality of the desktop version of the browser to the mobile application.
