Google Chrome isn't compatible with our device.. Or is it?

I went and downloaded Chrome to test it out.. And it works! You may have to close out a couple of times, and the splash screen is compressed.. But once you get in its awesome. Here's the download link! http://www.4shared.com/android/C_HOgqrW/Google_Chrome.htm

That isn't actually Google Chrome. An XDA developer created that.

There doesn't appear to be an incognito mode, no Google account auto sign-in, chrome-URLs do not work (for example - chrome://settings), no USB web debugging, it's a different UI and much more....

Miren Browser

You have to be running ICS or higher to use chrome.

There's no way around that

Hopefully with the recovery now we can get ics or jb on this thing!

but so you arent disappointed..that miren clone is actually better than chrome in its current state. its laggy,freezes constantly and all sorts of other issues. i have the htc one v and it definitely has no trouble running about anything and this browser runs horribly. but mind you i am on cyanogenmod 10 which also has a few issues of its own,namely no flash support lol.

Flash works in CM10, you just need to install it on your own (not from Play Store). Let me know if you'd like me to give you a link for it.

0 issues with chrome on official cm10 here. Must be a device specific issue

it must be. a number of HTC users have left messages during rate process stating some of the same issues I've had,but not all. could be my specific build of cm 10 also. I noticed the entire phone got laggy like it wanted to freeze up during use of chrome. I killed app and uninstalled.
