Pull To Reload, Open Or Close Tabs
The pull down to access the ergonomically-designed browsing shortcuts is exemplified in the animation available nearby. While browsing a web page, you can tap and pull the screen down. This action unveils a header menu. If you release you’ll activate the Reload command symbolized by the icon in the middle. To pick the New Tab (+ icon) or the Close Tab (x icon) commands, you have to either swipe left or right before releasing. The new selection is validated by the blue bubble that engulfs the selected icon, informing you what action will be performed if you release.
Why Google Chrome on iOS?
I have to admit that I’m a native Safari user when it comes to browsing on my Apple devices. However, there are certain situations when using Chrome on iOS might be the better option. Here are a few situations that I can think of:
– If you’re using at work or home a non-Apple computer or table, where you browse via Chrome, it might be more efficient to navigate using Google’s browser while on iOS. Chrome includes the Sync Across Devices feature, which allows you to access from your iPhone, data store while browsing on other devices.
– If you’re the type of person working in tourism or any other niche that includes browsing websites in other languages, you can count on Google’s Translate tool that easily converts websites in any language.
– In case you don’t want to leave traces behind, Chrome’s Incognito mode is a real privacy enhancer. It’s true that Safari private web browsing is also available, but there are a few flaws yet to be corrected like the predictive text one.
