Google Chrome for Android and iOS gets data compression, Translate coming soon to iOS

Google has updated its Chrome browser for Android and
iOS devices that brings data compression and bandwidth
management. This lets you help you reduce data usage,
which can reduce data usage by up to 50% while
browsing on-the-go. This uses Chrome’s Safe Browsing
technology that helps protect you from malicious
webpages, says Google. Opera Mobile for Android
already has this feature called Off-Road mode with
built-in Opera Mini compression.
You can enable this from Settings > Bandwidth
management > Reduce data usage and then toggle to
ON. You can also track your bandwidth you save each
month.The update also brings app shortcuts on Android
that lets you create shortcuts of your favorite web pages
on your homescreen. This can be created directly from
the toolbar when you are visiting a web page.
Google Chrome for Android already has Translate feature
that lets you translate webpages easily, just like you do
on Chrome for desktop. Google has announced that this
feature would be available for Google Chrome for iPhone
and iPad soon.
These updates for Android and iOS would be rolling out
over the next few days.
