MacStories readers and The Prompt listeners have asked about my seemingly sudden decision to stop using Chrome and go back to Safari. I’m happy with the new Safari – so much, in fact, that I’m even considering Reading List as my “read later” service going forward. Google kept pushing updates to Chrome for iOS, making it a capable browser for average and power users alike.Ī few weeks after publishing my review of iOS 7, I decided to uninstall Chrome from all my devices and move back to Safari as my main and only browser on my iPhone, iPad, and two Macs. I fell in love with Google’s support for x-callback-url, which I integrated in several workflows of mine as it allowed me to save time when switching between apps on my iPad sync was nearly perfect I praised Google’s superior implementation of voice dictation and feedback, although I noted how their Voice Search couldn’t exactly compete with Siri.
On the other hand, Google Chrome for iOS was promising, familiar, and power user-friendly. I liked Safari’s speed and native integrations with iOS, but it was prone to errors and boring. I don’t frequently abandon systems that work for me due to stagnation, but iOS 6’s Safari exhibited a certain staleness on top of issues with bookmark and tab sync that, for me, were becoming an annoying problem. Īs I started using my iPad as my primary computer last year, I was growing increasingly annoyed with the state of iCloud sync in Safari and lack of major overhaul to a design that originally shipped with iPhone OS 1.
My browser requirements have always been fairly standard (several open tabs a lot of reading sync with mobile devices), so I could afford to change browsers without having to worry about setting up a complex environment from scratch.

I’m pretty sure that, at one point, I even tried to go a full week with using Opera. I guess you could say that I was quite the fan of Google Chrome.īefore switching to Chrome last year, I didn’t have a “favorite” browser or “browser of choice”: I just kept jumping between Safari, Chrome, and Firefox, trying out all the features that the three major players had to offer on OS X.
