Google has released an update for the Chrome app for iPhone and iPad to version 28.0.1500.12 that brings Google Apps integration, fullscreen browsing to iPad and option sign in to other Google apps with a single click. This would let you open Maps, YouTube, Google+, and Google Drive links in the dedicated apps app instead of browser. Google promises that more apps would be available soon.
Google has also started rolling out data compression feature that would reduce data cost, save bandwidth and load pages faster. This feature would roll out over the coming weeks. Google for Android got the compression feature back in April in v27 update.
