Google have launched a new beta channel for Chrome Android, the new version is now 25.0.1354.8, it is available on the Play Store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chrome.beta
Just done a few tests, in Sunspider it is now as fast as ASOP browser, but scrolling can still be janky, compared to stock Jelly Bean browser, which is disappointing. Try using www.theverge.com, IMO ASOP is still smoother, I now this is beta, but seriously Google please do not release Chrome v25 and still be less smooth than stock browser.

Looks original enough.
Looks legit. Seems an xda member ported it. Check about. Lol. It's nice. Pretty fast. But it has some stuff in another language for some reason.

Lol screw "nice" and "pretty fast" this is the ****. Pretty damn awesome lol I'm loading websites in less than half the time it took with Dolphin and Maxthon.
DOLPHIN HD BROWSER IS BETTER, looks like google chrome too
I ditched Dolphin for Maxthon, and I'm ditching Maxthon for this. Don't really care for the gestures as long as it's faster, and this is.

Hmm a friend on stock rom tried this and had to uninstall because he said it slowed down his phone. Wonder why. It's fine on mine.
its nice but the apk is very small the original chrome has over 10mb.Greeeeeeetz
Okay did some digging around. The browser is Miren, not Chrome. It's a browser from China and has a MIUI feel. An xda member translated it to English. Now why anyone would go through the bother of labeling it as Chrome I have no idea.
Still pretty awesome though. Seems I've been testing a lot of Chinese apps lately. XD

I wouldn't even bother with firefox. I'm in GB an tried the new update firefox. It is annoying as **** trying to scroll through. Boat and Opera are the best mobile browsers.
Chrome is amazing

If stock is not your choice, I would try Opera
Offcourse, there is a new update for firefox and it was better then the previous versions. But still not happy with it.

It says right in google play firefox: "suport for some armv6 devices with at least 800Mhz CPU and 512RAM", sorry but if you need doudle the RAM Gio has I guess it's not for us....O God I have to get a more capable device. I vove the Gio but....I wonder how much the Galaxy Mini 2 is case I never had problems with lower CPU just with RAM
This browser is really good. Smooth scrolling, big speed, but sometimes lags like hell(problem with ram)
My advice: don't use it cause it lags like hell.

Chrome beta is a version of chrome that includes experimental features Google is testing out before they get the features they are testing stable enough for public release in regular chrome for Android. For example, Google recently introduced experimental WebGL support for chrome for android this allows web developers to to put anything from 3d games to animation's on websites without needing to rely on the Adobe Flash Player plugin. The latest version of chrome beta includes these experimental features and more. You can download chrome beta from the play store here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chrome.beta.

Same for me. Not sure what the issue is. I even tried it as a system app.
I tried it on my phone w/ V8. It's rooted, but not unlocked & it doesn't work either...it loads up, I do the 'allow' dance and when I go to search or sign in to sync, it just crash-closes.
Would be nice if they came closer to v25 of Chrome, we're still on v18...

I have the exact same experience with Chrome. I just stick to the stock browser though. Much faster, smoother and it syncs with google services.

It's a Google browser.
So it syncs with Google just like chrome does.
Current Devices: At&t Samsung Galaxy Note, Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Asus Google Nexus 7 Super Tablet
Current Roms: Skynote 7 (Note 2), AOKP (Galaxy Nexus), Nexus 7 Stock
For me, it's still Dolphin or bust.
The stock browser, not Chrome, is by my favorite on my N7 though.

Dolphin drains my battery way too much. It's fast but I love the leanness of naked browser. Have you guys tried chrome beta.. rumor has it that it runs much better
I use chrome on my laptop too so it syncs between my phone and computer.
Actually, on earlier CM9 nightlies Chrome would choke and be unusable, but on AOKP and other roms, it'd perform quite well. I guess it might be a memory leak.
Not to try and discredit you in any way, but Chrome works fantastically for me. No lag whatsoever.
Sv: Gnexus simply can't handle chrome browser?

I'm running latest aokp builds and notice (and have noticed on prior builds) scrolling being jumpy and not smooth. I don't notice any lag in terms of page loading but the scrolling jumpiness is a real turn off for me. I stick with the stock browser.
Chrome works OK on stock roms and on PA, but I prefer stock browser. It's more stable and faster.
