Google updates Chrome for Android

More languages, no flash, still in beta

Google has upgraded Chrome for Android. The browser is now available in 31 languages, all of which lack Flash support.

• Request the desktop version of a website if the mobile version isn't what you want to see;
• Add bookmarks as shortcuts on the home screen;
• Choose apps to handle links opened in Chrome;
• Use Chrome over WiFi with the system proxy configured in Android settings.
