I guess so, otherwise you have to think about yourself, whether this is what I'm up to iPhone bought and would consider upgrading to Android ;)
Safari is much better. If I use the swipe gesture from the edge of the screen to go back to the previous page, Safari he remembers it and the transition is lightning fast. Chrome reload it = extra unnecessary data.
Despite the fact that, like any third-party application on iOS This one also stores a ton of cache, so after a few days of surfing it has Chrome about 500MB. I used it last year for about 3 days, then I uninstalled it with enthusiasm. Moreover, at that time Chrome It contained a bug where multiple tabs would close themselves when reopened. Thank you, we don't want that.
Safari It's not much better. It's not a bad browser, but it's not MacBookI don't use it much. On the iPhone, nothing else but Safari I don't really need it, but I have Firefox installed on both my Mac and iPad. Chrome. The reason is simple – synchronization across all platforms. So I have my bookmarks both at work and on two computers with Windows, both on my daughter's laptop and on her phoneoneon Android and tablets Windows.Fundamental error Applu was that he ended the development Safari pros Windows. Personally, I really liked it there. It could be the other way around today – all computers would have it Safari, no Chrome or Firefox.
Hello,
At work, I have the task of testing the websites of our facilities. Newly, also in iOS, V Safari and in Chrome. I should also try adding the selected page as an icon to the desktop. And in Safari I can't figure out how to do this. Does anyone have experience with this?
iOS I like it more and more, but unfortunately there is no one in my area who owns it and can give advice, which is somewhat incomprehensible to me after my experience with it. And Uncle Google is not very helpful either :-(.
