I was browsing the app store yesterday and saw that Chrome is now available for iPhones Ipads etc. Does anyone on NS use it? Is it work using? what are the actual adavantages of using Chrome instead of Safari on the iPhone. I use Chrome on my PC so I have my favorites and all that stuff saved. I read that it will roll over to my iPhone. But I am just wondering if it is that much better.

I set mine to be the default browser by using BrowserChooser in Cydia

AND TO ANYONE WHO WISHES CHROME WAS AS FAST AS SAFARI
download Nitrous, it allows Chrome to use the same javascript engine that apple locks down for only Safari, makes Instagram and Facebook app a lot faster too

and anyone who hasn't jailbroken yet, you're missing out and you need to in order to get both these tweaks

jailbreaking iOS is definitely the play. you can leave everything as is when you jailbreak, but there are just so many more options available
