Lathum · 04-01-2013, 06:42 PM

anyone have recommendations? Thanks!

Swaggs · 04-01-2013, 06:46 PM

Chrome?

Lonnie · 04-01-2013, 07:27 PM

I use chrome myself. I wish you could make it the default.

Puffin.

It can be buggy at times, but it plays flash and gets around my office's web blocking software.

oddly enough, I love Chrome on my iPad but can't get myself to use it on my iPhone.

I guess the smaller screen and lack of tabs on the iPhone is what's turning me off from using it. The whole look on the iPad is so much like a smallish laptop screen that it's just perfect though...

Never heard of Puffin before.

Chrome is the best, hands down.

Just converted to Chrome from Dolphin (as it just kept getting buggier with each patch).

Chrome on the iPad is pretty awesome.

digamma · 04-01-2013, 11:54 PM

For the uneducated, what does using a different browser get me?

Fidatelo · 04-02-2013, 08:01 AM

Chrome for iPad for sure.

Subby · 04-02-2013, 08:02 AM

I like how it does tabbed browsing. You can also do incognito browsing so your spouse won't know that you like to peruse Kate Upton cat daddy vids.

Finally, if you sign in to chrome with your google account, you can use your passwords, data, and open tabs across multiple devices (tablet, pc, phone). That's the part I like the best, I think.

Fidatelo · 04-02-2013, 08:13 AM

For me its mostly about speed. I have an iPad 1 and Safari is just a dog. Chrome seems to be a lot less painful.

Yes - make sure he knows about the Cat Daddy. Every man should know this.

stevew · 04-02-2013, 11:38 AM

Synced browsing makes chrome an easy choice.

Icy · 04-04-2013, 11:40 AM

Chrome also because synced browsing between all my mobile devices and PCs.

Photon is useful if you want to stream flash.

Anyone still using an iPad 1 and is there a browser that works? Safari crashes all the time and chrome isn't much better.
