Google Chrome 17+

I definitely prefer Google Chrome to Safari . It’s so much easier to use. In my opinion Safari doesn’t take you to or even look up quite what you were looking for without having to reword the question 2 or three times and when you’re moving along at a steady pace that’s the last thing you need is a browser that almost seems to be lagging. The two things I missed the most when I started using my iPhone was
Google Chrome , Google and Google play store. Those three are most definitely the best and Apples Safari does mot compare. Thank Goodness you can use Google or Google Chrome as your default browser with an iPhone or that would have became a deal breaker. Undoubtedly the best browser to ever use.

I used chrome years ago and stopped because the only 3x in my life I’ve ever been hacked was while using chrome, so i stopped and never got hacked again. Years later now i saw the clever ads about saving passwords and figured to give it another shot. I love the password save feature it works much better than Firefox, yet the browsing experience especially on mobile and iPad is horrible. Large menu items that take up space, I can’t get my bookmarks bar to show on screen. I have tried everything, all known fixes, nothing. I guess there is no bookmarks bar avail to be onscreen. My third party extensions like LastPass just don’t seem to work also, I’ve followed the install procedures, nothing, just a big empty search bar with very limited options and use-ability also just not aesthetically pleasing. Switching back to Firefox.
Great marketing, and idea, but poor user experience. I like the idea of the full Google integration…that’s what makes apple products so popular, everything just works together, i was hoping google and all its great products; drive, search, ect would take the hint…Keep trying its just not fun and appealing to use.

I really wanted to like the Chrome app for iOS but it turned out to be counter productive. I use a lot of other Google apps over Apple (notable Gmail and Google Maps) and after a lot of prompting from those apps to use Chrome when pushing to Safari, I decided to give it a try. After a month of Chrome usage, the app options, gestures, buttons are counterintuitive and slow. For example, I understand some people like to close their browsing session after but I never do- sure, have a close all button but why is it displayed so prominently in the app start. I have pressed it accidentally so many times and closed out my plethora of tabs which is really annoying. There’s no way to recover them if you open a new tab. There’s no option for opening tabs in background, quick new tab from a current tab just to name a few others. Page loading is slowing and constantly reloads instead of saving page data. The iOS Chrome app needs a major refresh and update before I use it again. But right now it is counterintuitive, inefficient, and unproductive.
