Password synchronization, data compression via SPDY proxy added to beta version of Chrome for Android

Yes, quite a bit of time has passed since the publication of news about the possible appearance of data compression in new versions of Chrome (by redirecting traffic through the Google server), and it was such a new version that was announced by the developers. Among other things, another function was added - password synchronization and auto-completion of fields.

In general, the principle of synchronization is about the same as in the favorite of many Xmarks. Passwords and autocomplete data are synchronized with the central server, and as a result, you can use the same data on different devices with Chrome (including desktop PCs, tablets, smartphones, laptops).

As for data compression, everything is exactly as described in this news. The traffic that the user requests is first passed through the SPDY proxy server of Google. As a result, the pages are optimized for viewing on mobile (and not so) devices, which makes it possible to speed up page loading for devices connected to the Network via a "narrow" wireless connection.



Among other things, this compression saves traffic, which is important for networks with high prices for received / transmitted data. Of course, browsers like Opera Mobile work in much the same way, but Google went its own way using its SPDY servers and PageSpeed ​​technology.

To use data compression technology, you need to download the latest beta version of Chrome for Android herefrom here , and type “chrome: // flags” in the address bar to select the data compression option.
