Like Chrome? Have an iPad? Introducing “iChromy” by Diigo ~ Chrome Style Web Browser on iPad
Looking for a great alternative to Safari on iPad? Miss Chrome on iPad? Introducing “iChromy” ~ Chrome-style web browser on iPad that brings cool functionalities like Tabs on top, Ominibox, Offline Reading List, etc to the platform:
Tabs on top
It’s very easy to open, switch and close tabs
Extra space for content
The address bar will be hidden automatically when you scroll down the page, so you will get extra screen space for content. To show the address bar, just tap the tab again.
Omnibox
Type search keywords or URL in one box.
Open link in new tab
Long press a link and choose different open link options.
Offline reading list
One-click to save a page to the Offline Reading List, one-click to remove. Long-press a link to add to Offline Reading List without opening the link. Offline Reading List is a great way to have pages later, whether offline or online.
Share to different places
Share a page to Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Diigo, Instapaper etc.
Context search
Search from context menu directly.
Speed
In addition to features, we have made a great deal of effort to make iChromy fast! Multiple tab browsers on iPad are often slow and prone to crash due to the memory issue. iChromy reloads tabs dynamically and smartly, so it feels fast even with multiple tabs.
With restrictions on JavaScript engines on iOS, Chrome for the iPad by Google is not likely to be a reality anytime soon. iChromy provides a great browser alternative for iPad users. Chrome lovers should feel right at home when they use iChromy. Lots more enhancements and cool features are forthcoming, so stay tuned!
iChromy V1.0 is now available in the App Store for free download >> Please go check it out, tweet / blog about it and share with your friends! Thanks!
