Google Chrome 17+

I’ve used Chrome for iOS since it was released, but 4 or 5 months ago it started having display issues. Whatever page I am looking at will suddenly display across only 2/3 of the window. Doesn’t matter what website, zooming in doesn’t work as the page jumps back to being too small and reading anything is useless. I’ve found numerous reports on this from other users, have reinstalled, restarted my phone... everything, to no effect. Unfortunately I’m uninstalling, and i can’t recommend this browser. Hopefully they will fix this issue, cause it’s ruined my favorite browser.

Google thought it would be great to have all of my open tabs from my PC suddenly open themselves on my iPhone without warning. Previously, there was a separate tab in Chrome where I could view and open any tab synced across my devices, but now it seems by default all of my saved tab groups show up on my main tab feed and it’s a complete mess. I have way more open tabs on my device now than I’d like, and if I close them, then they will close on my PC as well, which I DON’T want to happen. I WISH companies would stop pushing new features out without a clear way to turn them off, or at least give some sort of heads-up. Until I figure this new change out and a way to disable it, I will cease using this browser because of the inconvenience. I do not need to see 50+ tabs on my phone!

Sorry, I used to LOVE Google Chrome Browser but lately, it just feels bloated and crammed full of ads, you can’t escape…

The Desktop version was a 4/5* but one issue with iOS is ALL “Browsers” rely on the exact same foundation as the Safari WebKit..

Safari will ALWAYS have the newest, greatest, least bloated, streamlined workflow, as it’s the Native app by design, that all others follow behind waiting.

Unless you really need features tied to Chrome or Google in general you have 0 reason to use anything but Safari. It’s not the developers fault, but it sure does feel like a major drawback a main reason why I will not be using iOS Chrome.

Safari already supports Extensions natively even AdGuard.. No reason to settle for another clone with more bells and whistles using you for ad revenue, providing no real value beyond what Safari and iOS already offer.

This is just another way for Google to attempt to maintain their monopoly. I have been using Safari and Google Search WITH extensions without excess ads and confusing UI/UX design just opening the app once I get a “Why do I even have this installed”

Do your own research though! Don’t take my word for it, maybe it will change but I doubt it. Apple has a chokehold on their OS and market share and is slowly also pushing me away, unless there is some major shift.
