Google Chrome for iOS update brings sharing to G+, Facebook and Twitter

[![Google Chrome for iOS update brings sharing to G, Facebook and Twitter][1] ][2]

We've had [Google's Chrome browser on iPad and iPhone][3] since June and now it has received its first update. After a [recent update for the Google+ iOS app][4] added sharing of links to Chrome, the lead feature in the new version is the ability to share from Chrome to "your favorite social network" (Google+, Facebook or Twitter). There have been a few other tweaks that the team says are in response to user reports including better sync sign in error messages, language detection and a fix for blank pages in incognito mode. While a share function that's limited to just a few apps and not being able to use it as the default browser still doesn't quite match the [Android edition][5], users who prefer it to Safari can snag Chrome 21.0.1180.77 free in the usual place.
