Google's Chrome browser has a loyal following on iOS , but it's certainly not for the speed or reliability - it has long used a second-tier iOS web rendering engine that isn't nearly as polished as what you get in Safari. At last, though, it's catching up. The latest iOS version of Chrome now uses a newer engine , giving it performance much closer to Apple's own browser - it's "significantly" faster, particularly when it comes to JavaScript. You'll be glad to hear that it's much more stable, as well, with a crash rate that's a whopping 70 percent lower. And don't worry, desktop users, you're getting some updates of your own. There's a new Data Saver extension that compresses websites, helping you get that much more web surfing out of a slow connection or a capped data plan.
