All iPads Have you tried the new Beam Browser for iPadOS?

Unfortunate that it doesn't have a trial. I don't really care to pay without even having tested it. I'll keep using Vivaldi and Brave.

Valid point. However, $5 isn’t much.

True, but it also makes me feel like the dev doesn't really believe in their product enough to think that people will like it.

He is a first time developer and also 16 years old. He may not have thought of that aspect.

This. I wanted to reply to his post too but could not find the words.

Oh, I didn't know that. That's very impressive then. I still stand by my point though.

But it's a browser though... if you had concerns or questions, you can always ask before purchasing. And as @Apple_Robert mentioned, its 5 bucks.

Before I purchased, I asked the dev about adblocking support... he responded that its added and have 3 levels included: basic, balanced and strict. And you can contact him via website (email) or check out the reddit thread too.

Christopher Lawley shared using Beam in one of his recent videos. You only need to watch the first 4:26 seconds as Beam is the first app he talks about.

How are Beam Spaces different than Safari Tab Groups? They look very similar.

I have never used Safari Tap Groups. Maybe someone else more familiar will be able to answer your question.

Just received the 1.2 update (like the new icon)… supposedly they added Peek feature, but I’m not seeing it.

This looks to be a significant update. I am liking what I see.

 

[Apple_Robert]

After using the new update for a while, I gotta say I am even more impressed with the app, especially the Peek feature.

I took a look today at the Safari Tab Group feature and in my opinion, Beam has a much better GUI and overall, more robust features.

Brave or Beam?

Beam. I don’t know why it said Brave. I will correct. For some reason, when I try and post, words constantly get changed on me along with the wrong punctuation that i have to go back and fix. I remembered just now, that i needed to toggle of the BB Code option on the forum to get rid of the problem. I had to do the same thing with Safari years ago.

How does it cope with ads in videos, for example on YouTube?

Beam has built in adblocking that you can control. With YouTube, it essentially super fast - forwards through them.
