The Chrome team today announced the release of Chrome 41 beta for Android. The new version of Chrome comes with a number of bug-fixes and performance improvements, but most importantly, it includes a pull-t0-refresh gesture to refresh web pages.

If you are on the top of a web page on the latest beta of Chrome for Android, you can simply pull down the page to refresh it. Google states that pull-to-refresh works on most websites and in my testing, the gesture worked flawlessly across all the sites I tried it on.

If you have not already received the Chrome beta update through the Google Play Store on your device, you can manually sideload the APK from here.
