Chrome is one of the software that has set the bar for other browsers. The software has the same performance as its Windows and Android version, which is much better than Apple's Safari browser. You can expect most websites to load faster on Chrome than on your iPhone's default browser.

On the other hand, the performance can be a problem for your device's CPU. Chrome will take up most of your phone's CPU performance. This can slow down your iPhone and take up most of your battery.

Best Chrome iOS features

Since Chrome is a part of Google, the app works well with Gmail, YouTube, and other software from the company. If you have a link in Gmail message, it will open in Chrome instead of Safari. YouTube links will also open to the iPhone app instead of the browser only.

Chrome's voice search is more accurate than Safari. This helps you avoid typing in your search query.

The browser app will sync all of your data across your iPhone, Mac, Android phones, and Window computer. Chrome will have your browser history, saved passwords, and bookmarks available on all devices that have the software installed. This helps you go back to sites you visited on your computer or access accounts without having to remember your password.

Chrome takes the lead as a reliable and innovative choice, offering smooth browsing across various devices. Here are more features that made more people opt-in for Chrome on their iOS devices:

Better protection from online threats

Chrome prioritizes your online safety with its improved Safe Browsing on iOS. This feature actively guards against phishing, malware, and other web threats. When you turn on Enhanced Safe Browsing, Chrome warns you about potentially harmful websites by cross-referencing them with Google Safe Browsing. It even alerts you if your login details have been compromised in a data breach, prompting you to take necessary steps.

Easy password management

Effortlessly manage your passwords with Google Password Manager integrated into Chrome on iOS. Set it as your Autofill provider, letting Chrome securely create, store, and fill in your passwords across websites and apps. This simplifies the process of managing passwords without compromising security.

Seamless browsing experience

Chrome understands the importance of a smooth browsing experience. Whether you're exploring new content or returning to your favorite sites, Chrome makes it easy to pick up where you left off. Access your recent tabs effortlessly and enjoy improved navigation. This user-friendly improvement will soon extend to Android, ensuring a consistent experience.

Quick website translation

Chrome for iOS uses on-device machine learning to enhance website translations. An updated language identification model accurately determines the language of the page you're visiting, making translations more efficient and tailored to your preferences. This ensures a more inclusive browsing experience in your preferred language.

Chrome actions for quick tasks

Soon, Chrome will introduce Chrome Actions on iOS to enhance your browsing efficiency. By typing an action's title, like "Clear Browsing Data" or "Open Incognito Tab," into the address bar, you can save time. The address bar predicts Chrome Actions based on your input, simplifying routine tasks and making Chrome for iOS a versatile tool.

Our take
