How does android not have chrome

How does android not have chrome

I meant on my phone.
:P

I've tried microB, firefox, Opera Mobile 10, and chrome.

probably 'cause Android has it's own browser. from google's pov that'd be unnecessary duplication of functionality. they exisit in two different segments.

I know, but nokia(?) gets chrome and google's phone doesn't

Yeah, I understand this (and the browser is great, my high score still stands ) but they could have at least branded or themed android's browser- yeesh.

Well this is Chrome for linux repackaged for Maemo which is based off of Debian (.deb packages).
Its not an official release from google, the maemo community actually worked on getting it to work on the n900. It has full flash support and is the only browser that comes close to nokia's microB. I would say it is superior to microB but it doesnt have good touch support so I have to use arrow keys to navigate and to zoom in and out i have to use ctrl + "+/-"

I'd expect big increases when the Android 2.2 update arrives...[shocked] :-

That makes more sense. Still I wish they'd do a little branding.

That's kind of misleading. JIT (which is what the boost is) can already be enabled on the Nexus One and the Droid and it can boost preformance 4x in certian non-native apps, but the improvements are certainly not universal (and the browser wouldn't see any improvements).

Google claims Froyo has the world's fastest mobile browser :-
