I have both on my PC, without either being my primary browser. I like Chrome better but that's on a PC.

The way the iPhone works, it only lets Safari have its super-fast Javascript engine, as Buzzfeed's John Herrman explains. "Mobile Safari, the default browser in iOS, uses a Javascript engine called Nitro, which in turn uses a technology called 'just-in-time' compilation, or JIT, to execute scripts more quickly ... JIT makes Nitro faster, and Nitro makes Mobile Safari faster," he writes. "But other apps that want to include a browser function... don't get Nitro".
