Apple vs Android in mobile browser wars

Akamai’s State of the Internet report reveals the mobile browser it found to be responsible for the most web traffic

Don't you mean Apple vs Samsung???

Safari must be one of the worst browsers out there, I use Chrome on my iPad.

Ah, stats... that beautiful tool that can prove anything you want to see proven...

if chrome was allowed to use it's own engine imagine the skew combo with android.. (chrome on iOS still uses safari engine due to restrictions on apps)

This is not the case. Chrome uses its own. No 3rd party browsers are allowed to use the Safari engine. Safari might not be the most feature filled browser out there but it is probably the smoothest and right up there with the quickest due to its nitro JavaScript code.

If Chrome or any other browser for that matter is used on an iOS device it will register it as being used on an iOS device. It will though register, as the article put, as Android WebKit.

So I don't know how the results will be skewed...
