Dolphin Makes Leap To iPhone
The Dolphin browser is the much-loved Android browser, a snappy alternative to the default system browser, which has quickly built up a robust arsenal of weapons. The new release of Dolphin for the iPhone carries most of those features over to the new version. Most notably, it is the only iPhone browser which supports custom gestures.
Webzine is another noteworthy feature – it converts multipage articles into a single vertical ad-free stream. Webzine includes articles from more than 120 channels, based on the RSS feeds of those sites.
Dolphin browser also brings lots of features that iPhone users would otherwise have to search for and import, such as its native Twitter icon, allowing users to share via Facebook or Twitter.
Tabbed browsing is included, which means tabbed browsing should quickly become a standard on mobile devices across the board, and an inbuilt desktop agent enables you to force it to render in its standard desktop view, rather than a half-baked mobile version aimed at slow or low-spec devices.
Then there’s SpeedDial, delivering rapid one-tap access to your most-visited sites.
Unfortunately, certain third-party restrictions apply to the Dolphin browser – it can’t be configured as the default browser. , which means links from other apps will always open in Safari.
The browser is not yet optimized for the iPad.
