Safari, don't feel that it lacks anything that would make me put up with a 3rd party browser. Especially not chrome.

Safari on iOS and Chrome on Android...

Safari is the best mobile browser on any of the platforms IMO

Safari. When everything in your ecosystem has little apples on 'em, it's a no-brainer. Flawless syncing of bookmarks and reading lists. Tried Chrome on my laptop last week, deleted it an hour later... If other browsers are like that on the phone, I don't want them.

chrome on ios for me, I have chrome on everything though and use the sync functions so even if safari is/was better I still would use chrome for the convenience.

Keep swapping between browsers on iOS, Safari quick browsing/chrome when long articles that I later continue on a PC, atomic for downloading.

Safari for most of actions. Simplicity and convenience. Other browsers occasionally. Using Atomic too. Firefox requires iOS 8, it is not for my phone.

^ why does your phone not run iOS 8? Or did you elect not to install it.

Firefox is rather good; been messing around with it the past few hrs & last night.

I only have chrome besides safari and find chrome sucks. To be fair, Chrome isn't very good on my android phone either. The advantage Chrome provides is cross platform sync

Safari all the way. Just works and syncs better to the Mac and iPad.

iOS/OS X, Safari by some margin!!

Windows, Chrome by the same margin!

Looks awesome :) Too bad the iPad 4 can't use this :(

Yup...still rocking an iPad 3... Same boat...Le sign

Mini 4 is too new & pricey...

Pro is expensive on another level & will be unwieldy...

Air 2 only option but as hardware still so good from late 2014 & due to iOS9 multitasking features they hold their value well even on the 2nd hand market.

All the web browsers are in effect the same, as Apple limits what they can use in the WebKit.

Safari on IOS will always have the advantage though.
