More than a billion people use Chrome, sending a flood of queries to Google's search service and thereby generating search-ad revenue. Improving Chrome also is important for fueling Google's expansion into very different businesses. Browsers, though, remain essential for looking up information and for interacting with companies whose apps you may not want to install. Most people get things done on their phone with apps - Instagram for photo sharing, Kindle for reading books, Spotify for streaming music, for example. Performance and stability are key to Google's ability to persuade you to use its browser on iPhones and iPads instead of the built-in default, Apple's Safari.
"This is the single biggest change we've done to the product since we launched it," back in June 2012, he said. The new Chrome version also is faster at handling complex and interactive Web pages and at scrolling thanks to an extensive rewrite of the browser, Mardini added. But Google's new Chrome 48, scheduled to arrive today, cuts crashes by 70 percent, he said. "Our biggest criticism has been 'This app crashes a lot,'" said Abdel Karim Mardini, the Google product manager who leads work on Chrome for Apple's iOS-powered devices, the iPad and iPhone. Go to the wrong website, and Google's browser disappears from underneath your fingertips, forcing you to restart the app. If you're like a lot of iPhone customers who use Chrome, there's one gripe at the top of your list: crashes.
