I've recently made a switch from Safari to the Mercury browser. I'm not sure which I prefer though. I really like Safari for it's smoothness and the fact that it can download stuff, unlike Mercury, which tends to stop loading from time to time. What I do like about Mercury is the tabs though, because this means I can visit more than 1 page at a time without having to re-load pages every time I switch, which is something cannot do on Safari. In the end, I just switch between the two.

@Mountainbikermark Yes Terra was a cool iPad Web Browser.
Was? Yes you can't download it anymore... Why? Ask Apple.
It might have something to do with the tracking issue?
Anyway a great browser now removed...
Terra -> Full screen, Gestures and unlimited tabs, Search/find in page, Save as and so on.

I've tried and purchased several, including Atomic, Mercury, iLunascape, iSwifter and iCab. I'm a longtime Firefox user, so probably trying to find something that feels close to that. So far, iCab is winning, although I'd love to be able to change the font size. I do use iSwifter when absolutely necessary to get Flash stuff, but get out of it as quickly as possible, because it browses at the speed of molasses at the north pole.

Thanks to a previous poster, I'm off to find CloudBrowse, and wait for Terra to show up again.

It is going to depend on the sites you visit. The iPad does not support extensions like Flash, Silverlight, and Java. If the site has those you may end up with a place holder graphic/questionmark. Standard graphics and pictures should display normally.

Here is the forum's sticky thread on Flash, for more details.

This survey started before Dolphin browser was available on the iPad. All but the last five post, including mine, were over a year ago.

These days I use 3 browsers (except when Safari is launched by default)

Chrome
Puffin (for flash)
Mercury (when I don't want to appear to be "mobile")
