Keep in mind this Chrome for iOS is pretty much UI functionality, sync service and whatever else Google might have added, but the browser is the same that comes with iOS including the javascript engine per the iOS App Store rules. So this doesn't have the V8 engine or any Google improvements made to webkit and the JS engine.
- interesting stuff. I'd like to know more about these app store rules that affect browser competition. *Searches*Hombre_Lobo
- Yeah, the lack of a TRUE chrome experience (v8, etc.) is lame but will have to do for now...ideaist

"Chrome for iOS doesn't use V8 or the Chromium fork of WebKit, just UIWebView. [0] Because it's using WebViews, it's about 3x slower than the OS's Safari browser [1], because WebViews in sandboxed apps don't get the "Nitro" JavaScript JIT from iOS 5 onwards (presumably for mark-executable security reasons)."
- Just as well get a Chrome sticker and put it on the screen running Safari, then.mikotondria3

Syncing tabs is very nice, and the voice search works reasonably well so far. Atomic browser loaded an NYTimes article a teensy bit faster, but it looks nicer in Chrome, imo.
Dolphin browser has a lot more functions than either Atomic or Chrome, but Chrome I think has a nice balance of form & function. I'll give it a few days before it becomes my main browser though.
