Chrome is a lot better, but (as I feel it) not on a par with Opera (on desktop systems) or the likes of Atomic Web Browser, Mercury or Dolphin on iOS. |
Well, at least Safari RENDERS properly, unlike Internet Explorer, which was merely upgraded to no longer totally crash.
I agree, though, that on the desktop Chrome and Firefox rule (never used Opera, though I hear it has many good features) and I prefer other browsers over Safari on iOS for the customization. Still, it gets the job done with a minimum of fuss. As is evidenced by the fact that all other browsers on iOS are (by Apple decree) nothing more than a skin on top of Safari's rendering engine. Lack of Nitro aside, the strength of all browser apps rests on the power of Apple's Webkit.
