Address bar implementation on desktop system was via mouse hovering over links. Dunno how that can be achieved when your finger hovering over the screen can‘t really do anything.
Unless this feature is for iPadOS user with keyboard attached or for macOS, then it would make sense.
If they would add decent ad blocking and the ability to move the address base to the bottom, I could give it a go.
most people I know who are not "Apple Nerds", have and use chrome on their iPhones. You know , the masses, the same ones that use Instagram and FaceBook, maybe even Twitter.
The only thing worse than Apple is Google. If Microsoft still made a phone OS I'd use that. Shame there's no realistic alternative to the Apple vs Google world.
Interesting changes. Wonder how much more privacy is lost with all these new features!! Prefer to use Safari only.
So happy Safari has all those features plus marketing level security in my iphone and ipad!. I mean, is the in-house browser, preinstalled, the only one which can access all the resources of my device, it should be at least 12 parsecs from the "competitors".
Actually, Edge is muuuuuch more private than Safari. Plus, if you use Google services, such as search, mail, the maps kit in Uber, waze, or watch YT videos, then the browser is pretty much your least concern.

Well l doubt the validity of google releasing features on Apples platform first, I point you to the community tab that was MAI from YTs ipados app until recently. No 1080P hmm yae that's an oversight I wonder how come?
I allso use Chrome on my applle mobile devices, for one eason : I aliso have a windows pc and ike the hassle free syncing of my bookmarks and tabs between said devices. So google has my bookmarks and browsig history, well let them, I run a pihoe and allwsy vpn to my home network (somtime spllit tunne sometimes all traffic) when out and about so they can't push ads at me anyway and I'm not a person of public interest so why would they bother leaking my info anyway.
