Surely Opera Mini for iPhone/iPad doesn't use Webkit? Doesn't it run everything through its own servers to compress and speed up loading times?
I'm not sure, but stop calling me Shirley.

I've never understood what the big deal about browsers is; I just use Safari because it seems simple, and it integrates easily with my various Apple devices. Maybe I'm missing something.
You make good sense. By the way, what you're missing is having Larry Page's hands in your pants, fondling your private data.
Seeing as Apple bans other browsers from being anything more than skins...this is NOT chrome. Its more of a chrome skin.
At the end of the day, its Safari with a lick of paint. Call it what you want. Dolphin, firefox, chrome...on iOS it is ALL Safari.
Isnt the requirement for web browers on iOS to use webkit engine (albeit maybe slightly modified), not necessarily safari itself? IIRC, isnt the desktop chrome web browser built using webkit?
Just downloaded Google Drive. This is going to be awesome. I can view a doc quickly or open it in Safari to do (minor) edits. This is really, really awesome. I can't wait for Chrome. I use it on a few Windows and Mac computers and I like how I can stop in one place and pick up in another with little disruption.
Yeah maybe it will be better as you have another choice?
lol some of you posters are so pre-programmed to hate anything non-Apple it's hilarious.
You don't get it at all. Only about 5% of the public have good taste. Apple has helped about another 5% to 15% develop some sense of appreciation for good design awareness. To those with no taste at all, it just looks like we hate anything non-Apple, while we see and appreciate good design. That's all. Don't take it personal that you have way too much Nethanderal DNA in your make up.

Wow I didn't get it all until I read your post. Thanks for teaching me where I have been going wrong!

No, it's just the usual children trying to out do each other.

From an untrained eye it may appear that we have a bias toward Apple, and hate non-Apple stuff.
It's not non-Apple stuff we hate, just shit stuff. We hate shit stuff. And love the good stuff.

What is so 'good' about those stats? Are you suggesting that 'good' stuff is popular stuff?
Windows != Good
Justin Bieber != Good
Symbian != Good
Religion != Good
Skoda sells more cars than Ferrari, does that make them better cars?
Meh

Popularity means nothing in terms of quality.

Nah, just the normal Internet angst amongst teenage tech nerds.

Ahh so anyone who uses Chrome is a idiot? So the 39.3% vs Safari's 4.3% has nothing to do with the quality of Chrome itself?

Finally!
It puts Safari to shame. And Google Drive is easily the best cloud storage out there right now. (Dropbox is a close 2nd)
So nice being able to work on my computer in Chrome and having all of my tabs being right there on my phone.
But I've had this for a little while thanks to my Galaxy Nexus (that's now running Jelly Bean!)
