Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Google Chrome at 61% against iFox Browser's 17%. Google Chrome also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.3) and update cadence (weekly vs every 6 months). iFox Browser's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
