If by soon, you mean some time in 2018 then yes.
Can't tell if sarcastic or if that's the real time frame! If the latter, why so long?
I use Google Chrome on all my devices on my smartphone Samsung Galaxy S6 and on my tablets iPad Air 2 and the Surface Pro 4 because it is very fast loading websites and it is very smooth and it offers a awesome and fantastic internet browsing experience!!!
And yes i have used other browsers like Firefox, Safari but i prefer and like using Google Chrome more then other browsers!!
I just gave it another try cause of your post.
Scrolling is much slower than Chrome, and loading pages is slower as well. Uninstalled it 5 minutes later.
Weird. I'm comparing Nightly to Canary and the only issue I'm finding is scrolling like you said.
Just tried Nightly. I like the UI, seems much lighter. The scrolling is much improved, but still noticeable slower than Chrome. The slower loading of sites is still the same. I think I'll keep the nightly version installed to see how it progresses and for the extensions.
Safari on my iPhone, mac and iPad. I don't currently own any android devices but I use Samsung's default browser and chrome when on android.
Same, though I don't use any other machine (unless I can avoid it) apart from Apple these days. Safari benefits from in-house optimisation but I get that Chrome is more feature-packed (which I don't need) and suitable for other users.
Safari has come a long way though and its more than enough for me. Chrome for websites that occasionally don't work that well with Safari and TOR Browser for the less than secure stuff.
Just trying Samsung's beta browser, nice browser with an ad block plugin, very fast on my OP3.
While this isn't most people's thing I have been using Icecat which is the GNU certified Firefox browser and it seems to run just as fast my phone as Chrome and certainly better than FF that last time I tried it.
