iPad is a mobile internet browsing device. The shape, design and ease of use make surfing the Internet on this device easier in comparison to a laptop. The Safari browser appears to be lacking in certain features that many iPad users would like to see.
The following are iPad browser apps that can prove fabulous alternatives to Safari.
1. SkyFire Web Browser for iPad ($4.99) | Download
Apple does not allow Adobe Flash applications on the iPad. SkyFire Browser for iPad is one exception to this rule. SkyFire proves unique with the browser allowing users to view videos. You cannot do this with other browsers on iPads because Apple does not allow flash to be installed. This browser processes flash content on their own servers and streams the video information back to the iPad. If you enjoy watching Flash-based videos, SkyFire is a must-have. SkyFire contains private surfing and “Full Screen” browsing. It features Google Reader and Facebook integration.
2. iCab Mobile ($1.99) | Download
iCab Mobile proves an excellent alternative browser. It has a full-screen mode that lets mobile users take advantage of the iPad’s available screen-space. The tabs are similar to desktop tabs. ICab Mobile provides the option to open links in the background and private browsing.
iCab Mobile allows for downloading items from the Internet and then exporting them to your personal computer or laptop for later use. Other features include ad blocking and Google language translation.
3. Atomic Browser ($.99) | Download
Atomic Browser has tons of features that are not found in Safari and includes full-screen browsing, private surfing and 1-touch tab buttons. The full screen mode is impressive and gives users access to iPads’s available screen space. Unbelievably, it lets users customizes the opacity of the full screen menu buttons that will assist in browsing the web while in “full screen” while clearly navigating between web pages.
Atomic Browser’s 1-touch tab feature proves to be one of the best browsers among other iPad browsers on the market. The browser automatically opens new tabs when a link that belongs to different domains is selected. It would be neat if users were given choices of opening new pages in backgrounds with 1-tab. Thisoption would seriously be welcomed by iPad users in future updates.
4. Browser Duo ($2.99) | Download
Browser Duo is an application that performs one thing well – viewing two different web pages on one screen. If you want to browse two web pages simultaneously, this is the one browser you want to buy. It provides private browsing and a full screen. The downside is that the screen mode proves less than perfect. It does not use all of the iPad’s screen space like iCab Mobile and Atomic Browser do. If you are seeking an alternative browser solely for the full-screen mode, this is not the best choice on the market. Alternatively, if you want to perform duo page browsing, this browser would prove a fantastic choice.
