Google Chrome

Google Chrome needs little introduction: it is Google LLC's web browser, and on Android it comes woven tightly into Google's other services, from search and translation to password storage and sync with Chrome on a computer.

Search sits at the centre, with Google answers available by typing or by voice. Google Lens lets you search for things you point the camera at, and Google Translate can convert whole websites across more than 130 languages in a single tap. On the security side, an Enhanced Protection mode raises Chrome's protection level, Safety Check gives proactive warnings, and Google Password Manager generates and stores passwords and alerts you when one may be compromised. Signing in syncs bookmarks, open tabs and passwords between phone, tablet and computer, tab groups help keep browsing organised, and autofill completes saved addresses, payment details and passwords. Google notes that availability of features differs by country and language.

The scale is enormous: 10,000,000,000+ installs and about 49 million ratings averaging 4.1, with 66% five stars and 13% one star. The app is free with no in-app purchases; the record flags it as ad supported. It was updated on 2026-09-22, its Android requirement varies with device, and it is rated Everyone. We list 108 versions, the newest being 152.0.7977.82 at 130.2 MB, which helps if you need to roll back a specific release.

Anyone already living in Google's ecosystem will get the most from its sync and built-in tools. Users who prefer to keep their browsing separate from a Google account may want a more privacy-focused browser.
