According to the blog post, 771 billion pages load each month, with the Chrome saving 18,6528 years of typing for users, thanks to search auto-complete. Over 2 million less data is used each month because of Chrome’s data saving feature, 3.6 billion web pages are automatically translated and the browser’s smart warnings protect users about 145 million times from malicious web pages monthly, it said.

Google has also announced a reward of more than $2,500,000 for hackers to find bugs in Chrome’s system, to help strenthen its security. Google Chrome already has over 1 billion active users worldwide. But it is the first time, it has crossed this mark on smartphones.

Google also rolled out a refreshed Material version for Chrome with changes in themes, tab shapes, icons and more. Sebastien Gabriel, Senior designer at the company said that the company has brought Material motion to the core with complex morphing ripples and bubbles burst on the icons.

It revamped the Chrome with a dark coloured theme for Incognito mode, changes in tab shapes, new colour scheme, buttons and info bars and more.

“We also created two different layout: One mouse optimized layout and a more spaced-out one that we are calling ‘hybrid’, which will be deployed by default on touch-enabled Chromebooks. The goal of the layout is to enable better touchability without comprimising layout density and productivity,” Gabriel added.
