A new web browsing option for iPhone and iPad users is now available thanks to Google. The Chrome web browser requires iOS 4.3 or later and provides a bevy of features to enhance web browsing on iOS mobile devices. One of the key highlights is the ability to sync your browsing between these devices and your desktop computer.
All of your omnibox data, tabs, bookmarks and passwords are synced when logged into your Google Chrome account. You can even send pages to your iOS device from a computer to read later offline. Much like the desktop version, Chrome for iOS also has a private browsing mode.
You can download Chrome for iOS free from the iTunes App Store. Here's more information from Google:
