The latest update to the browser brings a ton of goodies like tweaks to the URL bar, new locales and improvements to the download performance on android. Let's take a quick look at what's new.

    Curiously I was on an earlier version till about five minutes back when I saw this post. However, the version running told me that I was uptodate. V 37 does not look different on my desktop.
