Google Chrome For iOS Isn't Ruled Out
In case you haven't heard, Google just launched the Chrome browser for Android. It is free, in beta and available for all Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0) devices.
Since Chrome has made the move to mobile devices, MG Siegler wonders about a similar version for iOS.
When he asked Google SVP from Chrome, Sundar Pichai, about Chrome for iOS, his reply was:
“It’s a tough question for us.”

Why not? It let Opera in
-
Not really! Never got on with chrome, safari does all that I need but if anything the good old simple IE7!
-
Yeah, I would be stoked to have chrome on my iPhone since it's the main browser I use on my mackbook...

UAFaker from cydia. 'nuff said.

How about a jailbreak app Google Chrome?I use Google Chrome on my mac book and it works better than safari in my opinion.

apple just want their customer to be slave

As you know, Apple does not allow any browser to be the default one, except for the Safari on iOS. Chrome is kick ass, but if I can't open for example mail links with it, I'd rather use Safari. (Atomic Web Browser is also good for downloads and browser identification spoofing)
-
They should release it on cydia.
-
I would love to have Chrome on my iPhone since I use Chrome on my Macbook, too. There should be a setting however to open links from other apps such as Facebook in Chrome by default. That's probably not possible.
-
Exactly, as long as there's no possibility to change the default browser it makes no sense to use any browsers other than mobile Safari. Bummer.
-
Opera renders web pages using the built in web view. Compression is where their tech lies, and apple has no problem with that.
-
I am a little behind here on the legal issues, but didn't the usgov force Microsoft to allow deinstallation of IE and changing of the default browser? What prevents a similar scenario from playing out on iOS?
-
It would be great as an app in cydia, no restrictions like Apple's. The problem is that they don't want to lose their relationship with apple, I'm sure a significant amount of their revenue comes from google being the default search engine in Safari.
