As someone who used to use Chrome on iOS, it's not that wild to me: the UX of Safari on iOS sucked pretty bad for a long time (up until iOS 16, IIRC). I usually have hundreds of tabs open, and the old Safari UI for viewing all tabs was horrible: it used a skeuomorphic design, simulating a stack of paper. The 3D effect is distracting, and it's also a terrible use of screen real estate; a grid of all open browser tabs/pages is much better for quickly finding what you're looking for. Prior to iOS 16, I used Chrome specifically because the tab overview UI was so much better. In case anyone has forgotten, the first few seconds of this video shows what the tab overview UI looked like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSXJow3LAWA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSXJow3LAWA Strangely, there are people who would like the old iOS Safari UI back, despite it being strictly less usable: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/254384502?sortBy=best https://discussions.apple.com/thread/254384502?sortBy=best I eventually switched back to Safari when I accidentally realized that Apple had fixed their tab overview UI (and I couldn't get ad blocking to work reliably with Chrome).
