Ipad Web browsers

[hiranuk]

Hi



I just bought the new ipad last week. I am looking for a web browser that will allow me to zoom into the web page more than what safari will allow. I hve tried, chrome, firefox and a few other browsers but they all allow only a certain amount of zoom. I want to zoom in a lot more than what these browsers allow.



Can anyone recommend a browser that will allow maximum zoom.



Thanks

You could always turn on Zoom in the Accessibility settings to get a greater magnification

I seem to recall reading that ALL iOS browsers are essentially Safari inside, with bric-a-brac added on top. I've tried many, and always return to Safari because it's faster and more reliable.

Also, Safari has a level of integration with iOS that no third party browser will ever have.

I've also tried many other browsers including those like Chrome and Opera that can sync with their desktop/laptop versions and always end up back with Safari.

I personally believe that or thought to believe that Safari was and is the only way to surf the web or internet on the iPad.

For all intents and purposes I suppose you're right. I use Firefox on my Ubuntu desktop but didn't like it that well on the iPad even with it's sync'ing feature and the same was true with Chrome/Chromium. With the other browsers there was always something I didn't like and I invariably ended up back with Safari. In the end, Safari is a fine browser which just works good.

I wonder why it's called safari. ?

Cuz all the really cool names were already taken.

Some discussion HERE - check the blog post link by Ariya Hidayat - web browser names seem to encompass the concept of 'exploring' the world (or surfing) - a Safari is a 'search' or 'exploration' of Africa for animals; similarly, other browsers, such as Explorer or Navigator suggest a similar relationship; of course, there are others w/o that implication (e.g. Chrome) - Dave

Ok that makes sense.

I guess it was derived from Indonesian language or Singapore maybe.

Safari has been a part of the English language for over 100 years. Accoding to the dictionary it was borowed from Swahili which comes from the Arabi root 'safar' for journey.
