Google called its Chrome browser “the most popular browser used in the world” during Wednesday’s Google I/O keynote. And the company used that occasion to present updates to Chrome on both desktop and mobile, as well as new developer tools for Chrome.
While Chrome OS was mentioned, Sundar Pichai—Google’s senior vice president of Android, Chrome, and Apps—said that Google would have more news to share on that operating system later this year. That said, he did describe the platform as “an ecosystem play,” and gave every Google I/O keynote attendee a free Chromebook Pixel.
Turning back to the browser, Pichai said that Chrome now has 750 million active monthly users—an increase of 300 million users from last year. Much of that growth is happening on phones and tablets: Chrome works on both Android and iOS, and Pinchai stressed that its goal is to “move the mobile Web forward.”
The power of Chrome
Linus Upson, Google’s vice president of engineering, stressed that the company wants the Web experience to be the same everywhere, across all devices, and “personalized for you.” Upson described how Chrome’s successful implementation of technologies like WebGL and Web audio APIs makes it possible to create powerful Web-based experiences that work across platforms and devices, wherever anyone can use Google Chrome.
