By mid-summer 2012, Google had completed six months of testing a version of its Chrome browser for mobile devices running Apple's OS. Since the last days of June, the official release has become available for free download through the App Store - a standard application of the iOS operating system installed on iPad mobile tablets and iPhone smartphones.
The version of Google Chrome for iPad and iPhone has a number of advantages over Safari, the standard browser for Apple devices. For example, its text interface is more suited to the forced asceticism of the design of programs for mobile devices. And the ability to synchronize tabs of different devices (for example, tablet, smartphone and laptop) in Safari is still being planned. Despite the fact that Chrome for iOS is forced to use the same engine as Safari, it has no limit on the number of open tabs, and it was possible to combine search with the address bar of the browser to save space. However, search queries in this browser can also be entered by voice. There are other useful things that make it worth installing this browser on your iPad or iPhone.
Apple very quickly put the new browser from Google in its online store, so you can use the App Store to download it. This is a standard iOS application that allows you to download and install or update programs with minimal user effort. These files are stored on Apple servers, so you can be sure that your iPad, iPod or iPhone will get exactly the program listed in the directory. This also guarantees the absence of viruses or any spyware in the installed application. All these advantages apply to another similar application, no less common in mobile devices running Apple's operating systems - iTunes.
The procedure for installing Google Chrome using the App Store or iTunes is very simple - first launch any of these applications and log in to the online store. Then, using a search engine or directory tree, navigate to the browser download link and click on it. The operating system will do the rest by itself, you just need to wait for the download of the file weighing 12, 8 MB and, if necessary, follow the instructions on the screen.
