Chrome for iOS updated with new Gestures and support for Password Managers


Google Chrome
Following the release of Chrome 42 for Desktop and Android few days ago, Google yesterday released Chrome 42 for iOS. The new Chrome includes a widget for Notification Centre that lets users open a new tab, or use a Voice Search. If a URL is copied into clipboard, it will appear to open in a new tab for quick access.

Chrome 42 also includes support for app extensions which gives iOS 8 users access to third-party tools, including Password Managers such as LastPass and 1Password. Chrome will now also give you suggested answers as you type in the address bar. These work with terms that Google already autofills on the desktop (stocks, unit conversions, weather, and so on) which is shown in the screenshots below.

In addition to including better extensions, Chrome 42 for iOS has also gained new gestures. You can now pull a page down to reload just like in Safari. You can also pull down left to open a new tab as well as pull down right to close the current tab. These gestures are very useful for Single Hand usability.
Chrome 42 for iPhone and iPad is available for free on App Store.
