The most widely used browser worldwide in terminals with Google's operating system already has a new stable version in the Play Store. We talk about Chrome 50 for Android, a development that includes some of the latest innovations that have been tested in the trial version - and that have shown that they are effective and do not cause problems. We tell you which are the most important, and we provide the installation APK in case the deployment has not started in your region.

Two are the great novelties that are included in the new version Chrome 50 for Android. The first is that a new interface is enabled that allows pause or discard downloads that are made with the browser. This is located in the upper section of the development and, apart from seeing a bar in which the progress is seen, two buttons are incorporated that allow us to do what we indicate.

The second important addition is that it has greater control of the delete browsing history, such as the cookies that are used or the pages that have been visited. In addition, a new possibility is incorporated in Chrome 50 for Android that allows you to set the time in which the data we are talking about is deleted, which is quite positive when it comes to privacy. And, all this, with the addition of the usual bug fixes and performance improvements.

Personally what I have commented I think are reasons more than enough to upgrade to Chrome 50 for Android, either automatically from the Play Store, or, failing that, manually as indicated below.

Manual download and installation

Si donof these the version of Chrome 50 for Android is not yet available, we provide you with the APK installation so that you can now enjoy everything we have discussed before. The installation process is simple, since you only have to click on the file that is obtained and follow the steps that appear on the screen (the file is signed by Google, so the security is maximum). This is the link that you must use and as regards the requirements, it must have 60 MB of free space and Android 4.1 or higher.
