Chrome, just like any other iOS browser, uses the same web view that Safari uses, but even without the faster/better Nitro JavaScript engine, so realistically it should behave the same way (and possibly worse/slower) when it comes to rendering and interactions with web elements as Safari.
Got a tip for us?

I agree that Siri still sounds very robotic, could it be we need to wait for high quality voices to download??
If Safari's engine is using up too much RAM, and that's causing the issue, it wouldn't be a problem for Chrome. After all, Safari has the engine with the hack to use more RAM.
I've found one odd thing in the "Music" app - in the "Artist" view, where it shows all albums for an artist, these are now chronologically backwards.
Before 7.1, it would show all albums for an artist from the Oldest first - now, the newest is first, and they go "backward" in time.
Not exactly intuitive, as normally you would listen to an artists work in date order, oldest first...

We need a new thread about finding all the differences with 7.1
But the Music App still needs work...way too much scrolling when you have 100 albums by a single artist.
My 2¢: - I'm thrilled that list view has returned to Calendar.
- The "button" feature is odd. It makes it slightly easier to see what to click on, but isn't visually pleasing.
- I miss the zoom animations when closing apps. I found it did help focus me on the next screen. The gentle fade is confusing.

I don't understand this. Speedtest says my download is 30mbps, iTunes says 12 hours to go when downloading iPhone Software Update.
Is a direct download file available? I know it's launch day, but the resources of Apple shouldn't lead to 12 hour download times for a 1.5Gb file, surely?

I can easily tell when it's on shift and when it's not. I guess I'm just used to beta 5 where the switched it. After a few days I'm sure you'll get used to it. And I definitely agree iOS 6's shift keys were more intuitive. But thank goodness they didn't use betas 3-4 shift keys, that would've been an absolute nightmare.

Umm... anybody know how to darken the keyboard? Can't find the damn settings button
Dark keyboard was removed after beta 1.
Someone posted on Ipad forum thread that Safari on 7.1 release is slower with web pages than beta 5!
Someone posted in this thread, less than 2 hours of 7.1 going live, that battery life had took a hit. Point being, lots of knee jerk ill informed opinions flying everywhere.
It's actually showing which app has 'control' of the music buttons, which is useful. For example, mine says Rdio, so I know if I hit play, I am playing Rdio.
Well it's definitely faster and more stable on my Air now that in 7.0.x. Hardly any refreshes so far and no crashing, not even on that apple features page. The NIN page is a joke, it took over a minute to load on the windows 7 laptop and just less on mavericks on the MacBook Air. Someone should be fired for that abomination.

The animations have been sped up quite a bit.
It's just you
I ran Geekbench 3 on both a 5S and rMini and saw the numbers go down in both cases.
