More on Chrome for iOS

John Gruber:

That’s a good point about email, but it doesn’t apply to web browsing. There is no “Safari” sheet in iOS. And even for email, the answer is that iOS should allow third-party apps — like Sparrow — to provide their own system-wide sharing sheets.

True, but if Apple begins to allow third party apps to run as the default browser then they have a crack in the dam. The deluge of demand for replacement of other first-party system-wide apps will follow shortly and they need to have the structure in place to make that happen (such as APIs for share-sheets, etc).

To be clear I think they should, and I hope they will.
