New Chrome for Android beta lets users reopen tabs

Google has released a new beta version of Chrome for Android that can reopen closed tabs, among other things. In addition, the Android version of Chrome 35 offers, among other things, support for casting videos to Chromecast.

The Chrome team announced this on its blog. With the new beta version, every time a tab is closed, the browser displays a button at the bottom of the screen to undo the tab. With this, Google caters to users who sometimes accidentally close a tab. This functionality has been around for some time in the desktop versions of browsers such as Chrome and Firefox.

In addition, the new beta version has better support for HTML5 videos. They can now also be played full screen and with subtitles with separate buttons. Finally, Chrome for Android runs on multi-display devices and the beta version allows users to cast “some” videos to Chromecast, according to Google, although YouTube support is still lacking.
