chrome-app-update

Yesterday, Google released an update for its Chrome browser app.

The latest update includes enhanced search options including pronoun support for voice search and the ability to get back to your search results faster.

Here’s what’s new in Google Chrome version 29.0.1547.11:

Get back to your Search Results faster
• Do a search and click a result. Not what you wanted? Now when you hit back, your search results will instantly appear, ready for you to choose the next one.

Improvements to Single Sign On with other Google Apps

Data cost savings enhancements
• View your data savings in Bandwidth Management Settings. This feature is being rolled out and will be available to all users over time.

Voice search pronoun support
• Try queries like: “Who is the president of the United States?” followed by “Who is his wife?”

Stability / security improvements and bug fixes

Please note that Google is still in the process of rolling out the data compression feature, which was included in the last update. You should see this message, inviting you to preview the new feature in Chrome. When you enable the feature, Chrome will use Google servers to compress pages you visit before downloading them. It does not include SSL and Incognito pages.
