IOS 8 Open but cannot change the default browser third-party apps benefit

Sina Science and technology news Beijing time, June 5 morning, before the launch of iOS 8, the iphone application needs to use the mobile version of Safari browser and the slow speed of the engine. After the launch of iOS 8, developers can use the company's Nitro JavaScript technology, as long as they use Apple's latest WebKit programming interface. This means that third-party browsers will be as fast as safari. The stakes are high for browsers such as Chrome and opera that compete with Safari, and for apps like Twitter and Facebook that need to show a lot of web content. Preliminary tests show that this is a promising thing. Opera Coast Project director Hugh Bu Klehaute (Huib kleinhout) said. Improvements to JavaScript will only be noticed when browsing through sites that use this technology in large numbers, but Klehaute that other adjustments will have a broad impact on stability improvements and do not have to continue using some of the previous workarounds. We have a cautious and optimistic overall attitude. Klehaute says it looks promising, but only after full deployment and testing will we know if there is anything to look out for. Apple's openness has been widely welcomed by developers, including the opening of Touch ID fingerprint sensors and new extensions that allow applications to communicate with each other. However, Klehaute and others point out that iOS also has a disadvantage: it is not possible to set a browser other than safari as the default browser for a Web page. (PEI)
