Latest Google Chrome 30 Build Includes Pinch To Zoom

Among other touch friendly features.

Despite revealing a touch capable Chromebook Pixel laptop six months ago, it looks like only now is Google starting to implement some of the features that would actually make it usable. According to the report by TheVerge, the latest version of Google Chrome Canary includes ability to navigate forwards or backwards by swiping left or right as well as ability to zoom in with a pinch to zoom gesture.

In addition to that, the PC version now supports the onscreen keyboard, which will appear once you tap on the address bar or other text fields.

While Windows 8 users could always switch to IE10 Metro, it’s good to know that the search giant is at least aware about the ever growing demand for the touch friendly software.
