some of you have been very persistently asking for one thing in particular and before we agreed to do it we wanted to make sure that we did an excellent job of it I'm very happy to say that the team has really pulled something great out so you're probably wondering what is I'm talking about people have been asking you've been asking to use Chrome on your iPhone so I'm happy to announce that leader today Chrome will be rolling out in the App Store but I'll give you a sneak preview now here's Chrome on my home screen launch it and it should look very familiar to any of you who've used Chrome and another device before if you use Chrome on Android or a Chromebook you'll see it's got a omnibox up top it behaves just like you'd expect it to you can open tabs and met as many tabs as you'd like you can flick through them easily quickly it's a silky smooth experience really fun you can select the one you're looking for you can even close tabs with this with a quick swipe and you can even swap tabs without having to go to the switcher just by dragging from the side makes browsing the web on your iPhone really fun but while we were at it we figured why stop there it might as well go for the iPad 2 so I'll give you a sneak preview of that as well here's Chrome on the home screen of my iPad launch it and you can see we put the tabs up top here just like we did on the Nexus 7 we've got a little bit more space to work with it makes multitasking easier got a bunch of tabs open here and you can see they started to pile up cuz I've got a few too many open it's not unusual but I can just push them out of the way to get to the one I'm looking for it's a really nice overflow solution when you've got a lot of tabs open it it's synced everything is here so you can see I've got my bookmarks from my desktop find anything I'm looking for and all my other devices are here so you can see everything I've done today you can see I've got all those restaurant pages open on my iPhone you can see my Nexus 7 where I was looking at food over my lunch you can see the salty pig parts query which I backed up from I'm the book alone eyesight the work I did today looks like I didn't get much work done at all and you can see all those pages I had open on my macbook pro this morning over breakfast in case I want to pick up where I left off with one of those pages I'll just tap it finish reading the news and it will load here everything just works across devices but in this case oh it looks like a need to log in well it's not a problem my credentials are synced across machines even though I've never used in New York Times on this device before never logged in I can just tap log in because I'm signed in my credentials are synced auto-filled can log in directly now one more feature before I quit incognito feature near and dear to my heart the team did a great job with incognito here you can see it works just how you'd expect it to from other computers you can toggle between regular and incognito windows just by tapping there and I hope you'll find that using incognito on a touch device is a great experience Thank You Sun backpack
