Presumably, the people who care about web would only install firefox on their iOS devices, while the people who don't care would just keep safari.
in other words, the chrome share of the iOS market would remain small.
So a product manager cannot just say that it works on chrome and forget about safari. Unless, somehow, google manages to boost chrome's iOS marketshare up and above safaris'!
- dtech 4y agoI don't know the current iOS Chrome install base, but having everything synced is a powerful incentive I'd guess.

- chii 4y agoi hope that doesn't happen. And i hope that users would rather just not visit those sites. A lot of sites already try to push you to use their app by using the same banner, unfortunately. Time will tell if this tactic will be successful.
- the_other 4y agoEvery time I log into a Google web app it tells me to use Chrome for a better experience. It’s happened in two, maybe three browsers in the last month. I have no hope for your hope. Google will pummel users into using Chrome, relentlessly.
- rahoulb 4y agoI know a lot of non-technical people who use Webkit-Chrome on their iPhones because they (have to?) use Blink-Chrome on their computers. Currently they just accept that "iPhone" browsers don't behave exactly like computer browsers, but if Google started a campaign saying "now you can get exactly the same behaviour on your phone" I'm sure it would influence them.
