Recently Google has made their browser available on the Iphone/Ipad IOS operating systems. I downloaded Chrome on my Iphone because I thought it might be an upgrade compared to the default Safari browser.
A little history: I use IE on my work computer because I can only use IE with my work internet portal. However, I also use Chrome daily on my work computer to stream CNBC and for my google docs (drive) programs, as well as Google Finance. I feel Chrome works better with those programs, as well as it makes my organization easier to use a different "program" when managing my open windows.
I enjoy using Chrome on my desktop, and I also use it periodically on my airbook. But on the airbook I also use Safari and Firefox. No browser has taken the lead; they are all commodities as far as I am concerned. But by logging in to Chrome through Gmail, all your settings are supposed to be synced in the cloud - same favorites, same tabs open, etc. However, I can't login to my Chrome browser on my phone. It just doesn't work. I did a little research and determined others are having the same problem, albeit a minority of users. Not sure why I am in this minority. Anyway, I couldn't figure it out.
Speaking of the syncing feature in Chrome (even thought I can't benefit from it), why is microsoft so far behind with these types of features? Apple has a great sync service with their iCloud, and now Chrome, but Microsoft always seems to be a few steps behind.
Unfortunately, I must use IE for work. While none of the other browsers seem to be much better than any other, I am hamstrung by IE which is not available on a MAC or IOS. Let's get some functionality!
