Chrome - iOS WebKit wrapper
Is Chrome just another Safari wrapper
Google took the wraps off of Chrome for the iPhone and iPad, complete with the omnibar that allows for instant searches, pre-fetching pages, and swipe gestures to manage and close tabs, all on your iPhone or iPad. Hot on the heels of Chrome for Android coming out of beta, Chrome for the iPhone and iPad both sync bookmarks, history, open tabs, and even saved passwords for web pages with other instances of Chrome, including desktop and Android devices. Chrome for iOS also supports incognito mode for private browsing.
Loading up Chrome on an iPad presents you with a tabbed browser interface with the tabs above the address/search bar, unlike Safari's interpretation, which puts the tabs below the address bar. Like Chrome on the desktop, Chrome for iOS uses its address bar as a universal text entry for both search and URLs—there's no need to enter your Web searches in another text box like you do with Safari, as Chrome will figure out what you're trying to do and either direct you to the site you're going to or point you to a Google search for those terms.
