I have Google Sheets that have a moderate number of cells (~500k, so 10% of the maximum allowed), and I can’t get mobile Safari to load them most of the time. When they do load, it is invariably impossible to switch tabs more than once within the sheet.

Luckily, Chrome for iOS exists :(

Chrome for iOS uses the same safari rendering engine as third party browser engines are not allowed. So very curious if it works in iOS Chrome but not Safari as it’s mostly the same.

Also for your specific use case (I realise you were making a point) would be worth using the app I guess.

Hmm didn’t know they use the same rendering engine, but the success rate is not the same.

The Google Sheets app is a no-go because it kept using stale data for some reason. The sheets are regularly updated via script, and the app would constantly fail to show recent data.
