Chrome for the iPhone and the iPad was a breath of fresh air when it launched, but it’s limited by Apple’s hogging of the Nitro Javascript Engine solely for Safari. Not any more though; with Nitrous you can give Google’s browser a major kick in the pants and turn it into the Chrome the iPhone deserves.
As with all these awesome tweaks, you’ll need a jailbroken iPhone or iPad, but once there, you’ll be able to gift any app the joys of the Nitro engine, including Chrome, Twitter and Facebook.
LifeHacker ran its own tests and concluded that although Chrome on the iPhone was much, much faster, it was still slightly slower than mobile Safari. Still, it’s better than nothing though, and only costs about 65p. Find it in the Big Boss repository and give your iPhone Chrome as it should have been. [Nitrous via iDownloadBlog via LifeHacker]

Nice to know that I wasn’t the only one who noticed that
Apple should open up the Nitro JavaScript Engine API to other developers. Restricting its use to only Safari when developers are forbidden from running custom JS/ private API’s hurts the platform overall.
Agreed!
“turn it into the Chrome the iPhone deserves.”
I don’t know about anybody else, but whenever somebody uses this phrase “It gives _____ the ____ it deserves” I think of Batman.
“Because he’s the hero Gotham deserves”
With unleashed nitro, comes great chromeability….
