I find Safari lacking in a few areas and wonder which web browser other ipad users have found to be the best. Would appreciate your help.

Well remember everyone has a different idea of "best". I have used iCab Mobile and Atomic, they both have great features including full screen modes, ad blocking and in my opinion better designs than Safari. I prefer Atomic slightly and pretty much use it all the time now. Check them out for yourself YMMV.

Thanks b00bie, sorry had to have a childish giggle at your username, thank you for answering-much appreciated. I am tempted to go Atomic-it seems to have good reviews and I like the full screen modes etc.

I vote Atomic as well, although it seems lately I've seen more and more people talking about iCab, might give that a shot.

Thank you both for your help.
