Terra Browser for iPad: a Good Alternative to Safari

There is nothing wrong with Safari on the iPad, but if you find its UI is not quite similar to your desktop browser experience then please consider the free Terra Browser.

Brought to you be Readdle, Terra is a  browser based on WebKit so the Web page rendering speed is similar to Safari,  While the UI is simple, clean look Terra offers few things that you might miss in Safari such unlimited tabs, which are shown clearly on top of the browser, going back to existing tabs or opening new one is very intuitive , full screen browsing, text search, incognito mode and ability to save web pages for offline reading…are the few.

What makes Terra better than Safari:

• Unlimited Tabs
  Enjoy desktop class web browsing experience. Create as many tabs as you need, quickly switch between opened web pages and open links in new tabs.
• Full Screen Browsing
  Take advantage of the 100% of the iPad screen. Hide toolbars and tabs with one tap.
• Save Web Pages
  You can save web pages to read them offline with all images preserved.
• Text Search
  Easily find a word on the web page. Great for long Wikipedia articles.

What else Terra lets you do:

• Manage Bookmarks
  Terra excels bookmark management. Add bookmarks, create multiple nested folders
• Turn on Desktop Browsing
  You can set Terra to pretend IE 7, Desktop Safari or Firefox to browse desktop versions of the web sites.
• Stay Private
