iPad Pro Safari or Chrome on Ipad pro 11?

[katyoshi]

What do you use and why? I use chrome for my windows PCs and my samsung galaxy S10 plus, and my ipad pro 11 inch LTE version. Safari seems to run faster and I heard it uses less resources, thus prolonging battery life, is this significantly noticeable with "typical" use such as web browsing, youtube premium, google play music, email, texting, etc.?

I use Safari to maintain tab sync across other devices.
As for the battery saving, it is more of a cumulative effect than something that a user will notice from day to day usage, for example battery degradation speed.

Safari for me...just feels a smoother and better experience for me.

Safari, for the umpteenth time.

Safari just my personal preference and like being able to have something open on my iPad at home, then come back to it on my iPhone when at work

I generally avoid products from ad companies.

Duck Duck Go. It’s not susceptible to those hijack ads for Cox, Apple, and Amazon that Safari is.

Safari.

Safari. I switched primarily due to Favorites Bookmarks bar on Safari (like Chrome has on Windows) and easier/quicker access to bookmarks.

This.

I’m Chrome all the way on my MacBook Pro and Windows machine but Safari on my iPad Pro because I get little functional benefit on the iPad with Chrome. The UI is too simplistic and I get no extension support so there’s no point in using it. I keep Chrome installed on the rare case that I feel like a particular website will work better on it but the majority of the time I’m on Safari.

"... little functional benefit on the iPad with Chrome." - good way of putting it.

Usually use Safari on my 11” iPP. Chrome occasionally when something doesn’t behave properly in Safari for whatever reason.

On my laptop (Windows), however, I almost always use Chrome. Occasionally will use Microsoft Edge.

They all use the same exact rendering engine as browsers aren’t allowed to use their own on iOS.

This. Plus the fact that, as far as I know, third party browsers can’t use Apple’s fast Nitro JavaScript. It appears to me that if you use a third party browser on iOS you’re basically getting a slower version of Safari. Kind of sucks that Apple does this, but that’s where we’re at currently.....unless someone wants to enlighten me on this point......[all ears]

I haven't seen any slower performance with Chrome vs. Safari on my 10.5" iPP. I just prefer Safari because of the bookmarks functionality I noted above. Similarly with Firefox.
