Google Chrome 17+

I recently just downloaded the app and it allows me to do so much more things! I’m not saying that Google chrome is better than safari of course safari is because it allows you to go on Google yahoo!, Bing and more but it’s very easy to use and allows you to do things that you could never do before

Chrome has been my favourite browser on iPad for years, but since getting an iPad Air 4th gen a month ago and downloading this version, it has been a pain in the backside. Pages that loads in a snap in Safari just doesn’t load. When I type in a new search phrase and click search or tap enter on my keyboard, it just reloads the previous page or does nothing at all. I have to open a new tab just to get it to accept the new search phrase, and then it loads so slowly I usually give up and go to Safari. Has just made Safari my default browser - the first time I’ve had to do this since my first iPad many years ago (an iPad 2). I have deleted and re-installed Chrome. I have cleared search history. I have forced closed and restarted the app many times. I have closed all tabs and retried, it is still buggy. I hope the developer will fix these issue soon, because when it works, I still prefer the way Chrome presents the info and it seems to better “know” what I’m looking for than Safari (always has and still does when it decides to load a page).

I tried switching to Firefox a few months back and switched back to chrome because the tab management was much better, when switching and when closing.

With the new chrome, I quit the app several times because I thought I had loaded the wrong app. It’s almost identical (to Firefox) The tab windows aren’t as good, you could see many more tabs on the old version and the closing of tabs worked better too, could see more tab headings and use a fluid movement of a finger to close, rather than having to click on one specific spot. You also never had to stretch your hand on a larger phone as you could bring the tab to be closed down to where your hand was so for several reasons, new browser is much worse for 1-handed use, which is how most people use a browser on a phone.

Firefox closing at least incorporated a bit of a hybrid where u can swipe left or right to close but can still only see 6 icons and have to stretch your finger to close stuff on the far side of the screen.
