its much much slower. scrolling down a page often chokes. changing tabs can take 5 or 6 seconds to re-render. I might have low disk space issues on my iPad, but Safari performs flawlessly.
and its not Chrome's fault. Apple do not allow any other web browser on iOS, so Chrome is just WebKit except you don't get the same javascript engine as Safari does.
I stubbornly continue to use it because I want my history and bookmarks to match my desktop.
- davydka 12y agoiOS has recently opened it's advanced javascript engine to developers which should put App web page rendering speed on par with Safari.
- vhbit 12y agoI believe because of other limitations Chrome can't use it anyway and it might take a couple of iOS versions before everything will be solved. For details see https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=423444 https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=423444
- kayamon 12y agoIf they opened their platform up properly, then Chrome could simply use the advanced javascript engine it already has.
- wingerlang 12y agoI had none of those issues. I also use my devices jailbroken, and there are fixes for the Javascript engine. That being said, I mostly used it without them, and even when I did I noticed no difference. Again, probably because I use the iOS browsers very little.
