"Chrome for iOS has some pretty major technical restrictions imposed by the App Store, such as the requirement to use the built-in UIWebView for rendering, no V8, and a single-process model. As a result it’s been challenging to re-use critical Chromium infrastructure components.
That said, there is a lot of code we do leverage, such as the network layer, the sync and bookmarks infrastructure, omnibox, metrics and crash reporting, and a growing portion of content."

- statictype 14y agoJust wanted to say, great job on the Chrome app. Only 2 things I don't like about it: 1) Getting at bookmarks requires too many clicks. 2) Sometimes my bookmarks get rearranged on the desktop after I use them in iOS. Otherwise, great job. Syncing my browser history/bookmarks/passwords is great. And it feels more snappy than Safari, which I didn't think was even technically possible.
- js4all 14y agoYes, great job. Besides the fast networking part it also feels snappy because of the page snapshot feature. It is also a cool feedback to see reduced colors, when the content has not refreshed yet.
