Android devices across the world today are updating that one app which will allow developers to disrupt the user experience.

While for banana users the browser is still pretty much the same - crashes less, works better, more secure and loads web pages faster - there are some real exciting updates that have hit the ground.
We at iZooto, have been working hard to ensure that developers, partners and brands working with us are able to leverage the latest updates as quickly as possible. We were one of the early one to play around with #Chrome48 in its beta mode and here is a quick preview of what all changes will truly help you disrupt the experience of users:

Here is quick breakdown of what all can be done with Chrome48:

  • You can now add upto 2 action buttons for yourself. These two buttons can be used to trigger different actions - for eg triggering the playstore or triggering the dialer.
  • The title / description of the notification itself can be linked to a different landings pages.
  • The Settings button with the icon which occupied bulk of real estate in the earlier notification is now reduced to only a button size.

With this release, Chrome48 as a browser is one step closer to the full blown mobile app experience.
