Google Chrome Browser, Google Drive Coming to iOS [Now Available]

Google announced today that it is releasing a version of its Google Chrome for the iPhone and iPad. The company says it will go live on the App Store later today. Macquarie analyst Ben Schacter predicted last month that Google Chrome was coming to iOS.

One issue:

The biggest hurdle that Chrome features, of course, is that it cannot be set to be the default browser on iOS devices, a capability that Apple also reserves for Safari. So, while you can use the browser to your heart’s content, it will not be the default handler for any URLs clicked. That’s a huge hurdle to overcome.

I shall try it out and report back.

eta: kinda hard to edit this text box as the keyboard makes the text box small. Ok it's better in portrait mode.

eta: Can't hide the URL box either. May be a deal- breaker.

Is there Dolphin for iOS? I've been using Opera the whole time, but since my Touch isn't my primary anything-but-music-player the issue of clicking on URLs doesn't come up much for me.

Yes there is, and it's free. I haven't tried it out. So many browsers.

Dolphin was great on the Android, from before Opera got its act together. I can't remember exactly what prompted me to drift away, but now that I have all my Opera browsers sharing bookmarks, I rarely use anything else.

Hey! If any of you guys don't read BBABB++, I need some stylesheet debugging help. Does % this look exactly like this to you? If so, can you drill down in firebug or equivalent and tell me where the monospaced attribute is getting overridden--or hell, if it's never getting applied at all?

Also, why do all the FTP applications on my Mac end up being so useless I'm using command line? Filezilla was going great! But if I try and copy over the HTML folder here, it hangs mid-file. Command line grabs everything beautifully. I'm pretty sure I've gone through CuteFTP, Transmit, and something with a fish. Oh, and the Cyberduck. And they all bailed on me in the end. Or, maybe I refused to buy Transmit. But either they're not refreshing local NAS folders, or they're hanging or causing something else to crash.

I can't work out why FTP is my nemesis, especially since the evils of Windows integration mean I'm just dragging and dropping in the damned OS here. Come on!

I do not like Finder that much--does the upgrade improve it? I mean, when I set shortcut buttons, they're not visible when OS X pops a file dialogue, so I'm back to navigating all the way down the chain again. And other stuff I can't remember now that I'm not at my Mac.

What text/code editor do you guys recommend for Windows and OS X? I have a paid copy of UltraEdit on my home Windows machine, but I'm a number of releases behind. At work, I have Notepad++ which is just about tolerable--key feature I require is fancy search and replace. But being able to open and save files through FTP would be marvellous. Never mind the ne plus ultra of syntax highlighting and all that jazz. Smultron is almost meeting my requirements for OS X, but not quite. The save-to-disk, FTP-to-website, replace-previous-version dance is getting old.

"this" is indented, quoted text for me. The rest is normal post text. On Firefox 13.0.1 on Windows. (Don't even ask me what OS or version. We are in the middle of upgrade hell.)

I'm not 100% certain I'm using it right, but it looks the same to me (that is, not monospace and not indented) and I'm not seeing the monospace styling at all, using Mac OS X 10.6.8 and Chrome.

My CSS inheritance tree looks like body {} from buffista.css (nothing interesting), then body {} from 1220.css (must be my user style, yeah?) then eventually blockquote{} from "user agent stylesheet" whatever that is.

The only places I can think that might have an effect are my own font-family line ("Optima", "Verdana","Helvetica","Arial";) or the "display: block" line from my user agent stylesheet.

Where in the CSS tree should the monospace setting be applied?

Can we take % this to BBABB++? I totally meant to point the convo over there. I'll answer over there, Gris.

Is the cross device syncing automatic and reliable with Opera? I'm not thrilled with how iCloud handles my bookmarks.
