On Android, Chrome may not be Chrome. That is, there are several browsers that use the Chromium open source browser but nonetheless are not Google Chrome. We discussed this state of affairs in the “When Chrome Isn’t Chrome” white paper. Since we’re going to continue our study of Chromiumbased browsers in this white paper, it’s useful to repeat the main conclusions of the previous one:

• There are many Android browsers based on Chromium, Google’s open-source browser that anyone can use. Google Chrome is the best-known one, but far from the only one.

• About 70% of Google Chrome users update their browsers within three weeks of a new version being released. On the other hand, 30% do not, and frequently stay on an older version for a long time.
