I already downloaded it and really like it. However, I realized it doesn't have the "reader" function that I like so much on Safari -- unless I missed a setting to turn it on.

In just about every other way I like it better than Safari.

So, the only way to get information on the browser is through a video. And the website does not support video delivery through HTML5. Not a good sign.

Video worked for me.

Axis not available in the UK yet though. Hrmf.

I assume you mean it works using Flash? I was referring to HTML5 video delivery.

I love this browser. I put it on my iPhone and iPad. I just dislike the .com. missing on the keyboard when I try to type in a website. But it finds it though.

Tabs look great on the new iPad.

A little cluttered and confusing but it seems to be faster than the stock safari browser

I like to customize. I see how to create folders. How do you delete bookmarks?

Last time I checked, my iPad didn't support Flash, and the video plays back fine on there...!

It opens YouTube links in the browser, rather than the YouTube app, which is quite nice.

Sorry for the confusion. I'm on a desktop without Flash installed. I cannot view the video. Seems pretty silly. I guess they serve an alternate version of the page to mobile devices.
