Google has issued a brand new Chrome iOS browser version, bringing out several nice-to-haves and refinements to its popular Safari alternative for the iPhone and iPad.

In addition to the usual stability improvements and bug fixes, the new Chrome buildĀ 35.0.1916.38, available free in the App Store, improves upon its handling of right-to-left input method for Arabic and Hebrew in Omnibox, which in Google’s parlance stands for the browses combined search and address box.

More importantly, the app will now display your exact search term in Omnibox instead of the long search query URL, just like Appleā€™s Safari. And upon landing on Google’s redesigned mobile search results page, the browser now makes it easy to refine your search queries and view more results…

Here’s your changelog.

ā€¢ Added right-to-left support to the omnibox for Arabic and Hebrew
ā€¢ See your search term in the omnibox, instead of the long search query URL
ā€¢ Easily refine your search queries and view more results on the search results page
ā€¢ Stability improvements and bug fixes

Download Chrome free of charge from the App Store.

The universal app supports any iPhone, iPod touch or iPad as long as it can run iOS 6.0 or later.
