Because claiming that it stinks on Android, while true, might be interpreted as a passive-aggressive way of implying that it does not stink on iOS, which would be far from the truth. iOS's browser is archaic compared to recent and not-so-recent Android browsers.
- kalleboo 14y agoCurrent and third-party browsers are good, but 40% of users are on 2.3 or older, where the stock browser (which, let's face it, 99% of users are) really is sub-par.
- robocat 14y ago"iOS's browser is archaic compared to recent and not-so-recent Android browsers" - is untrue in my opinion and irrelevant. Disclaimer: I love Chrome on Android, and have multiple Nexus devices. Our service (for businesses) has 10 times as many users on iOS devices than on Android devices, and our customers ask about iPad support not Android tablet support. 1. Yes Safari on iOS has its problems. 2. Android stinks because of fragmentation (especially on phones). The majority of users are not using Mobile Chrome. Some Android users are using Firefox Fennec and Mobile Opera (major browser differences from WebKit). 3. Mobile Chrome is approximately equivalent to Mobile Safari in my experience. Both browsers have significant bugs. However I do spend 10x more effort on iOS than Android because we have 10x the users. Currently we have about 40x more iOS users than Mobile Chrome users.
