Apple Allows 3rd Party Web Browsers in App Store

iblueangel browser came out on Jan 12th looks like it might be the best of the bunch. It lets you cut and paste, and email those clips, or paste it into a field in a web page

it looks like its getting good reviews

Since Apple hasn't added the ability to turn off auto-rotate in Safari, I'd just like to see a simple browser that you can lock it in which mode it displays - either portrait or landscape.

Will have to try it out but apparently iBrowser does this. :D It really does become a pain when lying in bed, I end up having to set it on my pillow.
 
Thank goodness, I am SOOO sick and tired of Safari crashing all the time (the 2.2 update didn't really fix that). I can't wait until Firefox runs on the iPhone! Now if only they'd allow us to delete Safari completely from the iPhone, it's useless and buggy.

Firefox won't be allowed. Read the thread.
 
Um, these kinds of apps have always been allowed in the app store.
1password is an alternate browser that has been in the app store since July.
Cooliris is also an alternate browser, added in October.

Name one app that was only a web browser.
 
edge browser not working

Now admittedly, I'm just a lowly iPod Touch 1g user but for some reason the Edge browser isn't working for mine. I tried through the iPod app store and then after it failed there, I went to iTunes to download it then upload it. I keep getting a message telling me that that app isn't compatible on this device. I don't have any issues with Safari, I just to try out the free one of the lot. Any ideas?
 
When I see Chrome or Opera mini in the App store, then the headline here will be accurate.

These skins ain't 3rd party web browsers.
 
The feature I really want in an iPhone browser is a page down and a page up button. I'm so sick if having to flick 20 times to read through a page like this one. I would definitely pay for a browser just for forums and chat boards.

Oooooo yeah! +1 for page up/down. Apple's UI usefulness brains went out the window when they jumped on the fingertip scrolling bandwagon.

And for goodness' sake, how about keeping the last page(s) in cache?
 
Safari update

I dont need really any other browser, when Safari didnt quit so often itself during look a site doing nothing.
