Google Chrome

A browser for everyday web use

Google Chrome lets you open websites, search for information and move between multiple pages on an Android device. It suits people who use the web for a mix of tasks, from reading and research to checking social sites and signing in to online accounts. The address bar also works as a Google Search box, with text and voice input available.

Tools for finding and understanding pages

Chrome includes Google Lens, which can search using what your camera sees, and can translate webpages into other languages. These tools are useful when you want to look up an unfamiliar object or read a page that isn’t in a language you know. They bring search and translation into the browsing experience rather than requiring a separate app for each task.

Accounts, safety and other devices

For people who use Chrome on more than one device, syncing can carry tabs, bookmarks and passwords between them. Google Password Manager can save and generate credentials, while Chrome’s safety features warn about phishing and other potentially harmful sites. These protections can help, but they don’t replace careful decisions about links and the information you share online.

At a glance

Listed in Communication, Chrome has a 4.1-star rating from more than 48 million ratings and 10 billion-plus installs. It is developed by Google LLC. That scale makes it a familiar option for many Android users, though whether it fits best depends on the browser features and Google services you prefer.
