The 10 best features of Google Chrome for IOS

As we reported the other day , the Google Chrome browser has been released for IOS. Although it is not and probably never will be, as fast as Safari, try to compensate for this difference in speed with features such as synchronizing multiple platforms, Omnibox and many more that we'll see.

We decided to make a list of our 10 favorite features of the new Google Chrome for IOS. Maybe get descubriros something you had not seen ...

I leave a video, in English, where you can see the 10 features that we are going to talk into action.

Voice Search

We can search by voice using the microphone-shaped button at the top right corner.

Incognito mode

If you use Chrome as a desktop browser probably know the ability to surf incognito mode. The IOS version also includes this option, although not exactly as in the desktop due to limited places IOS. When browsing in incognito mode will not save the history, Omnibox search suggestions are disabled and passwords let us not be remembered.

Synchronization tab

As in IOS 6 we will see the tabs in Safari are synchronized through icloud, Google Chrome allows you to access the tabs open at any device running Chrome.

So if you see something in the office and want to resume watching when you get home, simply open your browser Chrome web sites you will see that you were seeing in the office. An extremely useful feature.

Easy access to the desktop versions of websites

When you browse the iPhone many times you are bound to see the mobile version of the website to catch this one comes from IOS. I really give a lot of Rabida, because the iPhone has plenty of screen to open the regular version of any website. Sometimes you can choose to use the web version, but sometimes it is possible and opens the mobile version like it or not.

Well, to solve this problem Google has included a feature in Chrome that allows you to request the desktop version of a website with the push of a button.

Sliding gestures

Both the iPhone version as the iPhone of Google Chrome include their respective sliding gestures. In the iPad, you can slide your finger as if you spent when you're on iBook pages, and with them you will move between the different tabs you have open. While iPhone, you close a tab by dragging it to the right of the screen.

You can see better performance in the video above.

Enthusiasts

The "speed dial" is a feature that most desktop browsers already have. When you open a new tab, a window shows you the most visited sites in order to have quick access to them. In Chrome this is called "Most visited". Also, for convenience, Chrome also includes links to sites recently closed, so that if you close a website you're visiting by mistake you can return to it without having to remember your address.

Bookmarks

One of the good things about Chrome is that virtually everything is synchronized via your Google account. This means you can save your bookmarks (or favorites) and access them from any device running Google Chrome logándote with your Google user. Google Chrome separates the favorites of the desktop version and mobile version, but you can easily access them from any version.

Omnibox and access history

Have you noticed that Google Chrome has no windows dedicated to "Search"? This is because both seeking access through the web address is done through the same window. In fact, Apple has taken this feature to the new desktop version of Safari. But for now, it seems that this feature is not implemented for the mobile version of Safari. A pity.

Preload and predictive search

It is true that Google does not use Nitro, and therefore is probably somewhat slower than Safari, but have tried to compensate with the ability to preload sites. You have the possibility of indicating to use this feature only Wi-Fi, or even disable it if you prefer. Chrome includes predictive search feature that you can disable if you are very concerned about privacy.

Google Chrome for IOS is not as slow as some would have you believe

Okay, so like any other browser Chrome will always be slower than Safari, so long as Apple continues to restricting access to APIs and Java enhancements. However, some features of Chrome can make sure those tenths of loses to Safari when loading a web site worthwhile.

Honestly, just with the tabs and bookmarks synchronization think worth taking a chance, as long as you heap up also as desktop browser, as I do.
