Just for your information, we don't have a "real" Chrome on iOS, we have UIWebViews with Chrome branding. So Google can only innovate in the UI surrounding the web pages, not the rendering and interaction of the websites themselves.
- ricardobeat 14y agoChrome and Safari already share the rendering engine, the only difference is that experimental stuff gets released much earlier in Chrome.
- robin_reala 14y agoNot 100% true: iOS Chrome bundles its own networking stack which is a differentiator (it supports SPDY for a start). They are hampered by UIWebView’s slower JS engine though.
- augustl 14y agoThanks! Was not aware of the networking part, nice to know. The rendering engine is also much more than "just rendering". When I click two small links close to each other on Android Chrome, a small clickable popup containing a zoomed in portion of that part of the page will appear. Very useful for avoiding misclicks!
