Out now on the App Store.

My first impressions are very, very good

 

Ill give it a go, Any big differene between safari?

 

It's Safari with a skin, a nice one, but slower as it can't use the faster java engine. On the plus side if you use Chrome then the tab thing is handy, good timing from Google as iOS is about to have the same feature built in.

 

I'm finding it very snappy and prefer the menu structure, much more visible browsing space. Nice to have 'unlimited' tabs and swipe to switch tabs too. Always good to have some competition to push Apple to further improve Safari.

You can't set it to be the default browser strangely enough

 

From a technical point of view it should be slower, i am not noticing that though and synced tabs is quality (and Incognito ) that alone makes it the best browser on iOS.

Apple cripples third party browsers, so credit to Google for beating them on there own platform, it doesn't allow you to set a default browser as already said, imagine if Microsoft done that, quite how they get away with it i don't know.

 

It's my new **** browser, Dolphin was a bit **** and private browsing with Safari is too many steps.

Apple provide the hardware and software, a complete device, very different to Windows.

 

I like the request desktop site feature

 

Well I have just demoted Safari and now Chrome iOS is my favoured browser, far nicer to use than Safari with a far more user friendly interface.

 

Where's that?

It was hiding under my nose.

 

I use Chrome on my desktops so I'll give it a go on my iPad this afternoon. Looks good from what I've seen so far.
