>I gsuite good anywhere? It's not good in the browser on desktop/laptop devices, certainly.

Re web-tech: All iPad/iOS browsers run a low-perf version of Safari under the hood. In my experience anything Google seems sluggish on Safari. Frankly, I think that a part of this is due to FUD (Safari is not slow).

I still use FF and Safari for 99% of my browsing, but certain sites just require me to use Chrome.

I assume anything Google is extremely energy/processor/RAM intensive and only consider it as a last resort on battery powered devices.

It's basically the same Safari, no?

No, WebKit is the same across devices.

That’s not 100% correct.

Web views aren’t the same, neither is the JS runtime configuration, hence the performance differences.
