Less than a week after the release of Google Chrome for iOS, news about this browser began to replenish Internet resources around the world with an enviable growth. Apple device users in many countries are rapidly abandoning Apple's built-in Safari browser, preferring a competitor's creation.
Using tweaks BrowserChooser and Chromizer, adherents of apple products do not pay attention to the slower speed of the browser, and write enthusiastic comments on various forums. What is the secret of such success?
At first glance, Google Chrome is not very different from Safari. This is the first thought that comes to your mind when you take a quick look at this browser. However, let's look in more detail and understand the functionality of Google Chrome in more detail.
Voice search
An extremely convenient feature - the set of capabilities of Chrome is significantly increased thanks to voice search. Google did their best - voice search works with a bang. Try it yourself!
Incognito
mode Activate "Incognito" mode and all your passwords, Omnibox search suggestions, as well as the entire history of visited pages will not be displayed.
Sync Tabs
Something similar exists in iOS 6 - iCloud. In Google's performance, this technology is also perfectly implemented: all open tabs and browsing history are synchronized - you can finish reading the news that you started reading on the iPhone, on your iPad, and then view it on the computer screen. Thanks to this feature, you will certainly never lose the link you want.
Access to full versions of sites
The browser constantly transfers you to the mobile version of the site, while you want to visit the full version of the site. Common situation? Google Chrome understands you like no one else - press the menu button and see the full version of the site.
Move
between tabs Switch between tabs with one touch of your finger - from edge to edge of the screen, and Google Chrome will display the next tab.
Visited sites
Opening a new tab assumes a grid of the most visited sites - you could see this in the full version of the browser on your computer or laptop. Add recently closed windows to this grid - you get a mobile version of Google Chrome.
Bookmarks
Register your Google account on your Apple devices and you will get instant access to all your bookmarks. Bookmarks are always at hand, no matter where they were saved - on iPhone, iPad or MacBook.
Omnibox and browsing history
Entering into the search bar in Google Chrome shows not only the browsing history, which contains similar elements, but also search queries, even such specific ones, such as buying an ultrasonic bath, which is necessary for professional mobile device repairmen. The efficiency of working with the browser doubles at once.
Page
pre-display It is no secret that Nitro Javascript is not used in Google Chrome, but the developers took this point into account and added a function to enable page pre-display. To speed up the browser, you can either disable this function, or enable it only for Wi-Fi connections.
Speed of work
The speed of the browser is extremely controversial. Some sites load faster than Safari, some don't. However, this is the first release of Chrome for iOS. The upcoming update of the mobile version of the browser will clearly fix minor shortcomings in the speed of work.
