Do Chrome for PC and Chrome for iOS come from the same code base, and if so, how do you automate testing for closed systems like iOS? (I ask because from my totally anecdotal perspective, Chrome for PC is a rock-solid dream of an application, but Chrome on my iPad crashes if it sees an animated GIF from across the room.)

It is unfortunate that Apple does not allow us to bring all of Chromium--our full rendering stack (Blink, etc.)--to iOS. If they did, we could build a much better browser for iOS. Instead, we are forced to use their provided WebView, and that means living with its limitations and bugs.
