A web navigation application developed by Google, designed for Apple’s mobile operating system. It allows users to access and interact with websites, web applications, and other online content on iPhones and iPads. As an example, individuals use it to read news articles, stream videos, manage email, and conduct online transactions from their mobile devices.
The availability of a major web browser on the iOS platform provides users with an alternative to the default Safari browser. This alternative often brings features like cross-device synchronization of browsing history, passwords, and settings, enhancing user experience across multiple devices. Furthermore, its presence contributes to competition within the mobile browser market, potentially driving innovation and improved performance. Historically, the introduction of third-party browsers on iOS marked a shift towards greater user choice and a more open mobile ecosystem.
