Late yesterday, Google released an update for Chrome Beta on the Android platform. The update contains bug fixes for known issues such as random flickering that occurs when opening a new tab. It also fixes an issue that freezes devices that utilize a particular Qualcomm GPU driver.
Additionally, Chrome Beta now has user access to chrome://flags, a hidden menu page that offers up many experimental features, including support for WebGL, a JavaScript API for rendering 3D and 2D graphics within the browser without the need for a plugin.
Other experimental features include an FPS counter, which shows a page's actual frame rate, and the ability to disable accelerated CSS animations. If you're curious, you can navigate to the page yourself from the Chrome browser to take a look, or download Chrome Beta for your Android device. As an aside, both Chrome and Chrome Beta are two separate applications.
