Chrome is now faster and more reliable on iOS
- 8 years ago
Google's Chrome browser has a loyal following on iOS , but it's certainly not for the speed or reliability - it has long used a second-tier iOS web rendering engine that isn't nearly as polished as what you get in Safari.
At last, though, it's catching up.
The latest iOS version of Chrome now uses a newer engine , giving it performance much closer to Apple's own browser - it's "significantly" faster, particularly when it comes to JavaScript.
You'll be glad to hear that it's much more stable, as well, with a crash rate that's a whopping 70 percent lower.
And don't worry, desktop users, you're getting some updates of your own.
There's a new Data Saver extension that compresses websites, helping you get that much more web surfing out of a slow connection or a capped data plan.
