If you ask me what is the best browser to use on the iPhone, I would immediately say Google’s Chrome. I’m sure many of you would agree with me, since Chrome has a lot more features than Apple’s stock Safari browser. You get better bookmarking, tab management, search and more. Hence, it would be nice [...]

The browser that we have all come to love (or hate in some cases), Safari, was originally slated to be called Alexander, iBrowse or even Freedom. The story comes from Don Melton, who was a software engineer who worked on Safari when it was just a twinkle in Steve Jobs eye. For those thinking, those [...]

It has been awhile since we have covered an iOS tip and what better day to get back on track than now! Today’s tip involves automating something most of us do everyday… logging into a website or filling out an online form through mobile Safari. We have all done this tedious action of filling out [...]

You might have noticed while browsing the internet on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch that instead of the old, extra annoying gatekeeper pages that show up and ask you to download the website’s individual app–that show up before you’re even able to view the site’s content–websites have been deploying ‘Smart Banners’ in iOS 6 that appear [...]

If you constantly browse the internet on your iPhone using mobile Safari then you also probably have a habit of having a ton of tabs open at one time. Sometimes it is hard to not have a lot of tabs open as it is hard to control which webpages open in new tabs and which [...]

It’s been in the works for awhile now, but it’s finally official. Google will be paying the Federal Trade Commission an enormous $22.5 million fine.

When we last checked in on Safari Download Enabler, the browser plugin had just added in [Finder], a built-in method for pointing the saved file to a directory on the iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch’s filesystem. Before the previous update, Safari Download Enabler would require switching to another app, such as iFile. The initial switch [...]

So the new version of Safari for OS X came out today, in the form of version 6.0. The official Safari page on the Apple site has been updated accordingly, but something is missing. Amidst the download choices, one option has quietly disappeared: Safari for Windows. It looks like the Windows version of Safari might [...]

As part of Apple’s update process, the company has also released an update to the Safari browser for Mac OS X Mountain Lion. Earlier today, OS X Mountain Lion was made available in the Mac App Store, which included Safari 6 with plenty of new features. If, for some reason, you don’t want to or [...]

While it’s possible to manually edit MobileSafari’s list of search engines through SSH or iFile, the process isn’t as simple as installing a tweak from Cydia. You have to want to spend the time to go through a plist file. When you try out new tweaks often and find that some of them revert your [...]
