what ipad browser are you using?

[Steve-Jobs]

It means that you're delusional to think Google's Chrome is faster than Safari. Chrome sucks in iOS, Safari is the fastest browser.

Well that's what I think. You don't have to agree do you? Good on you, use Safari then.

Always safari. Apple doesn't actually allow other true browser alternatives on the App Store. Every browser app you see including chrome for ios, uses apples UIWebView component as it's renderer which essentially is an embedded version of safari. Thus there's actually not much of a difference between them, with the major caveat that UIWebView has known issues and performance problems (especially in javascript) compared to full safari. The fact that safari is heavily optimized and is noticeably faster than UIWebView means that using any other app besides safari for web browsing on an ipad is just really doing yourself a disservice as a user of the ipad

Don't blame me, blame apple for not allowing other web rendering engines on the ipad.

Chrome might be slower in the past, I must say the current version on iOS 7 is very snappy. It is as fast as safari. The bottom line is there is a really good alternative. I do like the nice clean interface safari in iOS 7. I just wish there is a full screen mode.

I stick with safari but I also use the Atomic browser which is pretty cool.

 

[photosmike]

i've been an atomic loyalist for so long but they haven't updated it for over a year now... i guess it's time to switch.

Me too. I'm going to stick with it for a while, hoping that the developer updates it. I would be willing to pay.

I hate popups like on WSJ.com so I switched to Mercury. It allows choosing how your browser identifies to websites. No speed difference vs. Safari and no more popups.

I keep coming back to Safari mainly due to how it handles bookmarks. One-click vs multiple clicks for other browsers.

I always switch between mercury, safari, and chrome.

-I like mercury because it has a last pass add on.
-I like chrome because it syncs with my main desktop browser, and I can quickly go full screen by scrolling down.
-I like safari because I really like the swipe to go back and forward.

I wish I could combine them all. Currently I'm using safari though.

I use Safari and Chrome, with a slight edge to Safari for speed.

Safari, most commonly used, sometime I also use Chrome

Newb question, why would you use something other than what the iPad comes with, Safari? Is there some benefit?

Extra features, better keyboard support, etc, etc. I stick with Safari because of Reading List, but I wish it worked like desktop Safari in general.

 

[rhett7660]

Safari, I have Chrome installed but I keep coming back to Safari.

 

[Alimar]

Still using Safari. Does the job well enough. Facebook works like the desktop version.

I use Chrome for cross-platform syncing of bookmarks and history.
I use Atomic for ad-block support.

 

[Apple99]

I stick with Safari

 

[fhall1]

Same two I used last year.....iCab and Mercury....I deleted Atomic due to lack of updates

 

[Bealala]

I use Mercury Web Browser. Love its multi-touch gestures.
