So glad I stopped by... I tried the browsers above and fell in love with atomic!!! Man, finally I can use tabs best of all, background tabs so I can open multiple articles found as I read one.
Thanks op for the post

Icab does all of the above extremely well, including opening a link in a background tab. I also find the incorporated modules extremely useful, eg. Evernote, Instapaper, Goodreader, etc. (similar to what you would find in a desktop browser extension.)
Another cool feature, is that today I discovered I could upload/attach pictures to my forum posts directly from my iPad - have not been able to do this with any other Browser, such as Safari or Atomic. This new discovery is especially useful, as I belong to several types of forums.
When in full-screen mode, the upper status bar is hidden, giving all the screen real estate to the browser.Does icab have the option to cover the upper Apple status bar (battery, etc) to save more real estate?
I ask because it already uses a tad more space than Mercury for the 3 main sections I need on top... Address bar, bookmarks bar and tabs.
Mercury has this option so I wondered If other browsers offer it.
Thanks
Wh-what., upload files!? Gotta get it now
Not correct - iCab and Atomic both (probably others as well) handle https. I just tested iCab and Atomic on a few different web sites using the https protocol and they work just fine.
Looks like icab and atomic are the big ones..for some reason the free version of atomic hurts my eyes...is it just me? I imagine it is no different in the paid version..?
Also, would those who have tried icab and atomic and terra and the rest tell me which will be able to do all of the below the best/smoothest (some features are not articulated on the web at all and in some browsers they Are not well implemented):
can download files to dropbox
Can open/view docs and PDFs
Ad blocker
Private mode
Has search/find feature allowing you to click go to next word sequentially
Can save passwords like safari/ autofill
Has suggestions when you type in google search bar like safari
Bookmark bar
Edit: forgot to add--sometimes it's a pain to open a background tab in terra by long pressing because it doesn't detect it so I have to keep trying...do any of the other browsers have this problem?
Do both of these allow you to view the Source Code?I think I've bought just about every browser and for all around. Icab. For fastest and best full screen and gestures. Atomic.
Sorry to bump an old thread, but I'm wondering what people's stance are on this now that Safari has seen some fairly big updates in iOS5? In particular the new 'Reader' functionality really sets it apart from other browsers, and it's incredibly quick too.
Does anyone know if Atomic/iCab plan to integrate any features like Reader in the future? Also, using a jailbreak whether you can change your default browser?
Thank you!
Actually, iCab has had the Reader, Evernote clipping and many other modules available long before IOS 5.They are available in a drop-down menu that can be configured according to one's needs:Sorry to bump an old thread, but I'm wondering what people's stance are on this now that Safari has seen some fairly big updates in iOS5?

May I ask why do you even need to think about other browser? Personally, Safari simply is the best and all my bookmarks is all sync with iCloud

Is there method to set other browser as default? So it doesn't directly lead to Safari whenever i pressed a link?
Ah, wow! That is great, thank you. Going to buy it now I think, real shame there's no way to change the default browser, but hopefully with a jailbreak it'd be possible. Will look into it!Actually, iCab has had the Reader, Evernote clipping and many other modules available long before IOS 5.They are available in a drop-down menu that can be configured according to one's needs:
