I had a quick go on the BBC website using Chrome for my iPhone 4, it seemed a tiny bit faster than Safari (although that may be due to me wanting to see a difference, I dunno). But the big difference was the change in layout, not having the huge bar at the bottom of the screen that Safari has is a huge + in Chrome (pun intended :P). Syncing with my Chrome laptop ID is nice so I have all my old bookmarks on my iPhone now :). Best part is going to be Incognito though ;)


Seriously, Chome on iOS is not, and never will be, faster than Safari:

Also, Safari does support private browsing. In fact, Safari introduced private browsing years ago:

Check the Settings app.


I figured it wasn't faster, but I can't find the private browsing in Safari on my iPhone :S

Still, the increase of web page space is great and shared bookmarks is a nice + :)
