Which is actually very fascinating - last I heard Chrome for iOS is still using UIWebView as there were blockers with WKWebView. Wonder how Mozilla got around them?
There are always blockers. UIWebView has blockers and WKWebView has blockers.
I think Chrome on iOS has the option of some kind of mobile compression proxy that runs through Google's servers, so perhaps that's been part of the problem?
Hard work, mainly :)
