Prior to this everything was fine but this new update has brought more than users were expecting. The latest Chrome update introduced some long-press based gestures as well as new sharing features. What the release notes for this update didn't mention however, was that jailbroken users would pay the price for �security� amendments. People who regularly use Chrome on their jailbroken devices started to notice that their beloved browser was being disturbed when launching the updated Chrome app and this resulted in an immediate crash back to the home screen. After some investigation by Jay Freeman and developer Paul Griffin, it has become apparent that Google has introduced some untested jailbreak detection code into Chrome and this results in all jailbroken devices trying to use Chrome crashing everytime they launch it. While enhanced security is always a good thing when it comes to mobile apps, even the most security conscious would agree that crashing and not even letting jailbroken devices use the app is going a little too far. The problem with this new version of Chrome seems to occur in the actual jailbreak detection code that has been included and the code automatically assumes that users have agreed to send usage data back to Google, whereas in reality, it is turned off by default. Right now there is no perfect fix but Google have confirmed that we should see an update hitting the app store soon to resolve this issue. In the meantime, affected users are faced with the reality of having to allow Chrome to �send usage data�. It is also suggested that for the interim period users should remove all third-party Chrome based Cydia tweaks. You can follow the simple steps below to enable the usage data feedback options to allow Chrome to work again. The first thing you need to do is launch the Google Chrome for iOS app. Once it launches, select the Menu button that is located immediately on the right hand side of the omnibox before selecting the Settings option. Scroll down and select the Privacy option which is located under the Advanced heading, select Send Usage Data. You need to make sure that you have either Always or Only on Wi-Fi selected from the list. It is important to say that you need to do all this before the app crashes.

This amazing web browser has now been brought to iOS and is available on the iPad and iPhone despite Apple's restrictions on developers bringing their own engines to the iOS fold. Chrome for iOS has been updated with more and more updates arriving since its initial release. We are now at version 23 and this brings support for iOS 6's Passbook feature. Also included in the update is the ability to open PDFs in external PDF reading/editing apps and text encoding. There are a few other small tweaks and adjustments too. Any bugs that were lingering from the previous version have now been sorted out and if you have upgraded your firmware to version iOS 6, the Passbook feature looks to the the clincher for this web browser. If you are running on Chrome, you can save your boarding passes effortlessly, but if you are still running on iOS 5 or earlier you will just have to make do with the ability to open PDF files in alternative apps. Due to the increase in e-books and their popularity, we have seen a rise in the number of powerful apps that have been created that allow users to create, edit and read PDF files so it is great to see that Google have adapted its browser in accordance. If you are still using the stock browser that comes with iOS which is Safari you might want to take a look at Google Chrome and see what it can do for you. We promise you won't be disappointed.
