    Chrome is my default browser on my iMac and MBP. It's now my default bowser on my iP4S using Browser Changer from Cydia. All my bookmarks and Tabs are now synced up. Now we'll see what Apple brings to the table with the New Safari in Mountain Lion.

    Great new Chrome tweak out on Cydia: BetterChrome. Adds a new menu with "Share on Facebook/Twitter/Google+" and "Add To Homescreen".

    Costs $1.00, but totally worth it, in my opinion.

    I haven't used Safari in over a week...now, if someone would mod Safari Download Manager to work with Chrome, I'd be a happy boy!

    I'm in the same boat. I can't even remember the last time used Safari. I am very pleased with Chrome. I may check out that BetterChrome tweak.

    It's official: The tweak that has officially made Safari obsolete on my 4S has been released in Cydia.

    Enter Chrome Download Manager. A full featured download manager similar to Safari Download Manager, but with even more bells and whistles like banner notifications to let you know when a download is finished.

    Working like a charm thus far for me. Totally worth the $3.00.

    I don't think I'll ever use Safari again!

    I hear that it is a bit slow on iOS. Is this true?

    Speed is the same if not faster than Safari. I also tried to use it on my Nexus 7 and it is really buggy. It's much better on iOS.

    Hmmm, I'll have to give it a go then.

    I found the speed to be much slower!

    The tabs make Chrome worthwhile
