Works great, but a feature I was looking forward too is broken half the time.
It's the open in background tab, sometimes open in new tab if followed after a background tab.
After the first, it seems to open the wrong links. I came across this when I wanted to open a series of stories on a website. Like if you were on a forum and opened all the threads you were interested in first. When I finally swiped to check them, I found repeats of the same story, or just ones I never tried to open. So now I can't trust this feature.
Zooming in and out seems to help, like it refreshes it.
Also, the pop-up menu location can be random, often pointing at the wrong item, or even missing buttons. Annoying when it shows up under your hand.

It has to reload as you are quittingbthe app and then restarting it, there is no multitasking right now.
More like a developer using gimp which probably isn't much better 😉
I'm getting some good pointers for a ui refresh in this thread

Just got this browser, went to appshopper.com, clicked on a "get it" link for another app and.... nothing. Did not go to the App Store. Tried the same link in Safari and it worked correctly.
Am I missing something?

You have to hold down for an extra second or so, then a menu will pop giving you a choice to open the link or open it in a separate tab etc.

I know there is an App forum but this browser is just too damn good to not let everyone know. 😀
The update was just released today which makes it even better. It seriously fixes all the gripes people have about Safari and is so good it feels like Apple themselves released a new software version with the things that were missing.
The only thing that it's missing is a bookmarks bar (like desktop Safari) but that is coming in version 3.0.
My favorite features are:
• No auto refreshing of tabs
• Finger gestures that you can set yourself (I have 2 finger gestures for bring up bookmarks, going back to previous page, refreshing the page, and going to the bottom of the page
• 3 finger tap for going in/out of full page mode
• Set your own color themes

It is good but I wish they would get rid of the bar at the bottom. I always hated that about my iPhone
The Atomic Web Browser solved a problem for me. It let me changed the setting to Desktop Safari and I was able to sign on to my brokerage web site without automatically defaulting to the less featured mobile web site.
Props on this. This is way better then Safari. Safari was good don't get me wrong but this is way better.

Same as me. Hate how the back and foward controls are on the lower side. I wish it was on the top bar.

still waiting on the iPad but I downloaded the free version for iPhone. Pretty awesome.
Nice to be able to lock rotation and also to set a soft button to zoom to bottom as well as top.
