Perfect Browser Adds Tabs, Gestures, and More to iOS, Is the last word iPad Browser [Downloads]

iOS: Safari is an okay browser on the iPhone, nevertheless it’s surprisingly unsatisfactory on the much larger-screened iPad. Perfect browser completely changes the iOS browsing experience, bringing tabbed browsing, user agent control, touch screen gestures, and hyper fast scrolling in your fingertips.

The somewhat pompously (yet accurately) named Perfect Browser is out there for all iOS devices, but really shines on the iPad, where an alternate browser is a must-have to your arsenal of apps. Perfect browser is probably the most feature-filled ones obtainable, adding features you most likely miss from desktop browsing, like tabs, hyper or automated scrolling, session saving, popup blocking, and more. What’s even better, is that it also adds features designed to compliment the iPad’s touch screen (like a variety of gestures that cycle through your tabs, browser history, and even toggle a fullscreen mode). On top of all that may be a handy user agent switcher, for those times when your device refuses to cooperate and show you the desktop version of an internet page.

As if that weren’t enough, Perfect is filled with other, slightly more niche features. As an example, you are able to scroll through scrollbar-less frames on the occasion you prove on an internet site that doesn’t are looking to cooperate. You too can save any site for offline viewing later, that is pretty awesome. There’s also a nifty web compression feature which uses Google’s mobile rendering for pages that aren’t formatted for mobile. It changes the layout of most sites pretty drastically, but is actually nice when you’re on an iPhone, or pages are just taking a while to load over 3G. Honestly, several minutes with this browser and I was hooked-Safari be damned, here’s what browsing on the iPad was meant to be like. Hit the link to envision it out.

Perfect Browser is a $0.99 download for all flavors of iOS. Update: Seems like the fee of the iPad version jumped to $2.99 this afternoon. So now it’s $0.99 for iPhone and iPod touch, $2.99 for iPad.

Note: I will already hear lots of you Atomic fans shouting for recognition, so I can mention that previously mentioned Atomic browser is another great alternative, and has many of the same features that make Perfect so great. I myself give Perfect the brink for its scrolling features, but other users may prefer Atomic for its custom search engines like google or the power to view a page’s source. In case you’re searching for another iOS browser, both are great options.
