Google has updated its Chrome browser app for iOS to version 27, adding conversational voice search capabilities that were introduced at Google I/O and later deployed in the desktop and Android versions of the browser.
Voice search, which is already possible via Google’s Search app for iOS, can be accessed in Chrome through a microphone bar that has been added to the top of the keyboard.
The update also includes faster page reloading on slow connections along with bug fixes and stability improvements

I like Chrome but I think we have different definitions of the words, clean, simple and fast.
Oh wait, they probably have, but want all third-party browsers to be inferior so people use Safari. :P
And the "security" argument doesn't hold water. Apps are sandboxed anyway, so a hole in nitro isn't going to let you get very far anyway.
This goes on for all updates for Google Apps :)
