Chrome for Android reaches version 38, adds new APIs and more Material Design

Are you still running Chrome version 37? How last month of you! The primary browser for Android has now been bumped up to version 38. If you don't have the update already waiting for you on your phone, you should see it pop up over the next few days.

This update brings with it some relatively minor changes. According to Google's Chrome Releases blog, highlights include:

  • Support for Battery Status and Screen orientation APIs
  • Additional Material Design updates
  • Lots of bug fixes and performance improvements!
  • A fix for the security vulnerability: Content spoofing with scrollbar.

This is yet another example of a Google app getting its final touches in place before the launch of Android L, expected to come within the next few weeks. Google halfway-prepared Chrome with some visual updates to fit in with the new Material Design scheme in its last update, and version 38 continues the effort.
