[/caption]A1 PERFECT Web Browser for iPad is an extraordinary app for your iPad. It is, in its most basic form a web browser, however there are so many features. This browser was built with functionality and speed in mind.
With Perfect browser you can scroll through an entire webpage by merely holding down the up or down arrow buttons. With Perfect browser, webpages scroll naturally and fluidly. It's just like using a desktop browser.
Perfect browser provides real tabs. Tabs have been a part of internet browsers for a few years now and leaving them out was a big mistake for Apple when they built Safari for the iPad. Lucky for us, Perfect browser includes tabs. You can have an unlimited number of tabs open at once. Tabs are rendered simultaneously and asynchronously so they load smoothly even when a lot of tabs are loading at the same time.
The tabs that Perfect browser uses don't reload when you select them. Instead they stay just like you left them. This allows for quick tab switching.
Perfect browser can compress web pages so you can surf the web 10 to 15 times as fast as usual and you can reduce your data usage by a lot. Perfect browser also frequently caches webpages so that reduces load times as much as 30-40% on frequently visited websites.
Perfect browser allows you to have private browsing. Nothing is recorded when you turn history off. You can also set auto clear on exit for cookies for "paranoid privacy".

[/caption]Fullscreen is a wonderful function that Perfect browser uses. It allows you to hide tabs, address bar and toolbar. This gives you 40% more screen space compared with Safari.
Light memory footprint. Perfect browser barely uses any memory so you don't get crashes or quitting when you are loading "heavy" websites.
Desktop browser rendering. With Perfect browser you can render web pages the way they look with the browser of your choice, Chrome, Opera, Firefox or Internet Explorer. Websites show up just like they would if you were surfing from your desktop computer.
All in all, this app is excellent in every form and there are many more features that I didn't mention above. They all add to this application's usability and speed.

As one person said, "I was just about to cry with joy when I used it for the first time!"
This app is so excellent and I recommend it to anyone who wants a better web experience from their iPad.
I added this to my iPad apps June 2 and have used it several times since. However, it has also crashed about eight times, so here's hoping they can resolve those problems. (Like Safari, A1 Perfect has an automatic popup Crash Report, so they should know about the issue)
ردحذفOn a somewhat related subject, I am curious why some website, e.g. NBC.com, do not seem to offer a full site experience for iPad users. I'd hope to use the iPads stellar display to view some episodes of NBC shows-- but the options seem to be limited to two minute snippets. (And this has nothing to do with the absence of Flash...the abbreviated website pops up even before clicking on Show Video).
If this is a trend for many other websites, it would definitely be a drawback for me, in terms of using the iPad as my primary tool.
