My uncle has a MacBook and he forgot his appleid, locked his account. No problem, just visit the iforgot page and reset it. Uhh, problem, safari loads up a blank page with a header. So I hit the site on my android, loads fine and I get the unlock email sent. I open the email on his macbook, click the link and again a blank page. Wtf. I had to install chrome on his macbook to get the page to load, and I got his account unlocked.

Why did Google have to save the day?

You don't understand how people can use Apple stuff because your uncle has some issue loading webpages in Safari?

You know how many times I've had to install Chrome on someone's computer because IE was fricked up?

Or how many times I've had to install Firefox because Chrome was fricked up?

Best I could tell, safari was loading most pages just fine. But the iforgot appleid page loaded the header and footer, but the content area was blank.

Yeah, Microsoft is terrible too.

Did chrome fail to fully load a Google site on a Google OS?

The #1 selling point of Apple products is the ecosystem and how well everything is supposed to work together. I thought it was funny that apple's website wouldn't fully load in apple's browser on apple's computer. Other sites loaded fine in Safari, and other browsers loaded the Apple site fine. But the combination of apple and apple was broken.

I would like to know why Google Chrome crashes all the time on my iPad but never on my Android phone. I think I know the answer

I don't understand how you're getting so many down votes for this. It took forever for the largest smartphone manufacturer to make their own discussion forums mobile friendly. I've lost count of the times that I went looking for a fix to an iPhone problems and wound up in an Apple forum thread that I had to zoom in on. Apple has some really surprising weaknesses given the line of business they're in and the resources available to them.
