    The principles of this browser seem similar to that of internet explorer 10 (which is awesome.)

    IE is a plague to internet standards, developers and users everywhere.

    The only trouble with iOS web browsers is that they all use the same rendering engine (webkit) because it's the only one Apple will allow developers to use. This is just a different skin on top of the same old engine.

    Am I the only person who refuses to use anything other than Safari on my iPad? I hate Chrome for iOS.

    I always go back and forth with web browsers, but in the end of the day, I stick to Safari. Every single time.

    Exactly. It's fast, and it just works. I see no point in trying to create other browsers for iOS.

    Completely agree when it comes to every version of ie before ie10, but you've obviously never used ie10 (and i am talking about the metro version.)

    How ironic; at the end of the day, I stick to Chrome. Every single time. With Chrome, I can simply use my Google account to sync history, bookmarks, and passwords across my devices. Plus the omnibar is there, as well as the familiar user-friendly UI from the desktop version. ;)

    Although, I will be curious to see if Mozilla's browser will be as good as their desktop browser and/or has ease of syncing everything like Chrome does.

    The UI and Features are what make me use Chrome more than Safari.

    I think safari is fast because apple used nitro java or something like that. I also think there's a tweak in cydia that you can download so you can make third party browsers just as fast.
