Title: Chrome Support on Apple Vision Pro Urgently Requested by Heavy Google Apps User
In a recent interview with Heartland Magazine, a heavy user of Google apps shared their need for Chrome integration on Apple Vision Pro, highlighting the importance of accessing Chrome tabs on other devices and utilizing Google Password Manager.
According to the user, while Safari on Apple Vision Pro offers basic functionality, it falls short in terms of user-friendliness compared to desktop Chrome. However, replicating Chrome bookmarks manually turned out to be less tedious than expected.
Despite the demand for Chrome support on Vision Pro, Google has yet to reveal any plans for its integration on the platform, leaving users eagerly waiting for a solution.
The user also shared their experience with Google services in Safari, remarking that although they perform adequately, YouTube Music is better enjoyed on the main YouTube website. Additionally, the integration of Mac external display into Vision Pro was found to be enjoyable, but the noticeable foveated rendering was somewhat distracting.
The virtual keyboard on Vision Pro was reported to be slow with limited typing options, which could be improved. Furthermore, while the fidelity of the display was decent, the user expressed disappointment in Apple’s passthrough experience, which they felt lacked a sufficient brightness level.
In terms of compatibility with other devices, the user found that text on Pixel 8 or Fold became unreadable on Vision Pro, highlighting a specific barrier to cross-platform usage.
