Flash isn't supported. I'm sticking with Dolphin HD.

I'm really liking it. Tabbed browsing on a mobile device has never been better (that I've seen anyway). The tilt scrolling in the tabs view is pretty cool (though needs some sensitivity tweaks). I really like how well syncing with your desktop chrome browser has been implemented.

There are a couple feature missing, like turning off mobile view browsing or automatically requesting desktop versions, and I can't seem to find any way to set the default/home page. But then too, it is a beta version, so I'm sure there are more features improvements to come soon now that they've finally started rolling it out.

I don't know how much, or if at all, I care about lack of Flash support. I've always been a strong supporter of including Flash whenever possible, but once the online community had spoken and Adobe dropped continued development in the mobile market, I guess it's time I let go of it. It's less common each day that I hit a Flash heavy site anyway. :shrug:

I am really digging it! The awesome way it does tabbed browsing coupled with syncing withe the desktop version are huge pluses! The only negative is lack of Flash; but as stated above it is no longer being supported, time to move on. Plus it is the BETA version....Wow!

I don't really care for flash so not having it doesn't bother me. The experience has been extremely smooth so far.

I tried installing it on my HTC Glacier with android 4.0.3 and it wouldn't run.

Chrome beta will sync the tabs you have open on your desktop with the mobile device.

Other browsers do sync bookmarks, but chrome also syncs tabs, form info, cookies, omnibar history, login credentials, etc..

Playing around with it today, I was surprised at how much was sync'd. Also supports incognito for information you don't wish shared between browsers or in history. Encryption for shared information too.

yes it should sync everything that chrome syncs now which is a lot of data. It should be real nice once polished up a little.

Works rather well for a beta. Sucks that Flash will never be supported, but that's more on Adobe than Google.
