Google Releases Chrome 100 for iOS and Desktop With Updated Icon

[jgbr]

and there are still better browsers....maybe less attention on logo changes and more on the product.

And at the scale the icon renders in the dock, and on an iOS screen, that little 3d relief at the bottom is basically invisible. ?

The 3d is only for the presentation. There is no 3d on the logo.

It reminds me more and more of that UNO card game or whatever it is called.

I KNEW there was something! The Google logo has never felt original to me. You nailed it, Opeter! Thank you!!

Picking an icon for a Google product is like picking a flavoring to add to your Arsenic before you ingest.

I'm an Android/Opera kinda guy. iPad OS is inferior to my needs. Chrome is the best browser when I do use my iPad. Syncing my Safari bookmarks with iCloud, completely messed up my bookmarks in Firefox. I don't have a Mac, so I don't have Safari. The mobile versions of Firefox are awful.
If you want to poke fun at something, I give you the Edge browser washing machine tablet icon.

With that icon change, how will we even tell what it is?

It's similar to the change from one iPhone to the next generation

I'm just happy to see we've finally moved on from flat graphics. Minimal 3d will give way in another 4 years and then we'll finally get the Aqua ui again.

Wooooah... 3D bruh

Thanks, haha. Here is one of the slovenian versions of this card game.

It's slowly going back to the old design. Waiting for Safari to release their new version ;-)

I personally can't wait for UI designs to again become a little less flat. Mind you, not skeumorphic, just not completely flat.

Privacy, Faster, Privacy, less battery consumption, Privacy, private relay, Privacy, better security, Privacy, Keychain integration, Privacy, less RAM utilization, Privacy, secure payments with FaceID, Privacy, Reader Mode, Privacy, performance.

I wouldn't stress privacy so much with Apple since they do collect data, they do have access to iCloud, their software is closed source so you never know what is going on in the background not to mention CSAM and news that they were listening to your Siri recordings(search it).

I still using Chrome on iPhone, the app looks way modern than Safari and is more simple.

For people who love having no RAM left for anything else of course.

On iOS, I'm pretty sure that's not how it works as all browsers are based off of WebKit, so Chrome should be using the same amount of RAM as Safari. I know you hear "Chrome eats up all your RAM blah blah blah" all the time, but again, that's for desktop versions, not iOS.

Some websites don’t run well in Safari. It might be the fault of the web designer, but regardless of why they don’t run well, if you need to do something on that website then Chrome or Firefox are good options. Plus, Apple totally screwed the pooch with Safari in iPadOS 15.

Websites should run the same on every iOS browser app as they all must use the same browser engine.

The 3d is only for the presentation. There is no 3d on the logo.

There is, but only for the macOS version.

Just saw that too. It’s in line with the macOS icons but it’s still a bit silly. Flat is better.
