Chrome 40 for Android arrives on the stable channel

Chrome 40 is now rolling out for Android, and while the milestone number might make it seem like this is a big update, it’s actually relatively minor. The biggest changes mentioned in the Chrome blog are the new updated page info and content settings UI.

Surely Chrome 40 has more going on than that right? While there aren’t many front-facing changes, the good news is that a slew of bug fixes and performance improvements are baked in. For those wanting to know about the specific bugs squashed, a partial list of the changes found in the build can be seen in the Git log.

As is customary with all Google updates these days, today’s update may actually take several days or even weeks to reach everyone. For those that don’t like waiting, you can download the APK through Gappsearly. For those that downloaded, are you experiencing any noticeable improvements when it comes to speed, stability and overall performance? If so, tell us about the experience in the comments below.
