Browser Apps for iPad: a few ideas

Mozilla Firefox Mobile

There is no Firefox app for iPad at this time.  You may have seen ads online for Mozilla Firefox Mobile.  This is an app for Android or for the iPhone.  Important:  it is not a browser complete in itself.  Firefox Mobile  might be described as a helper app completely subjugated to your browsing  at your desktop computer.  Please see the cute video at the Mozilla site for a full explanation.

Safari, as Mac users have known it for long years on their desktop computer, is still Safari when used on the iPad.  It comes with any iPad.

Atomic Lite is a browser app with tabs.  Hurray for tab browsing.  More than one website or multiple webpages can be pulled up at a time.

Browser+ developers say that other browsers for the iPad “don’t fully utilize the unique abilities of a touch screen environment.”  This app gives lots of screen real estate by making the menus disappear.  The viewer must swipe from the left side (right side) to pull menus and the visited pages ( in place of a back button).  Swipe from the bottom to access the search box, the address box, and the onscreen keyboard.  Interesting.  5/11
