Safari

Safari is by and large the same browser that you know and love (or hate) – iOS 5 hasn’t changed it a whole lot. Having said that, there are a few new features which make it a little better to use.

First of all, there’s Reader. This works in the same way that Reader works in the latest version of Safari for the Mac and PC – it takes the content from a webpage and strips it back to the bare minimum, presenting you with the text and any relevant images. You can then choose the font size to make it even easier to read. Best of all, Reader is able to detect multi-page articles and stitch the pages together into one coherent document. To use Reader, just wait for the webpage to finish loading. A button labelled “Reader” should appear in the address bar – just tap that button to enter the Reader.

Second is the Reading List. It’s an easy way to put aside web pages to read later by tapping on the “actions button” (the box with an outbound arrow), then “Add to Reading List”. Best of all, iCloud (which we’ll talk about later) can keep your Reading List synced across all of your devices, including Safari on your Mac.

Third, private browsing has finally made its way to Safari, allowing you to browse without saving your browsing history or any details that you might enter. You can enable it from the Safari section of Preferences. Once activated the Safari app changes from blue to black.

Finally, the iPad and iPad 2 have finally gained tabbed browsing, allowing you to change between open pages really quickly. Pages don’t need to reload, either, so swapping back and forth between pages is nice and snappy.
