Just with the recent, full update of my Multiplayer Gaming Bible (see THIS), I’ve been working on a brand new, up-to-date, way more comprehensible version of the entire, old and now, completely outdated iPhone and iPod Touch Web Browsing Bible. So far, I’ve finished updating and heavily extending the new chart (it’s HERE; for comparison, the old one, dating back to June, is HERE). Most of its contents are final (there may be some changes I’ll do) and it also has the same dynamic column hiding mechanism I’ve first implemented in the chart of the Multiplayer Gaming Bible. That is, if you untick a checkbox at the top, the given column (here: they belong to browsers) will be completely hidden. You will frequently want to do so as I've listed and compared no less than 25(!) Web browsers for the platform. I will hopefully be able to publish the new version of the entire article this weekend. However, in the meantime, feel free to scrutinize (and comment on) the new chart. It has a LOT of new and great information.
Is there a way for any of the alternative browsers to keep the page in memory after exiting? That's probably the main reason I still use Mobile Safari more than iCab. I hate it when it refreshes the page I was on, specially for something like Google Reader, each time I open the App. Sure, it can't stay in memory (except if you use something like Backgrounder), but there must be a way to kind of save the page upon exiting... right? Oh, and great chart, by the way. Would be awesome to see it something less "scroll-y", or a way to keep the names always on top
I'm afraid the only one solution is Backgrounder - 3rd party apps are always forced out of memory when you press Home. (Unless you use Backgrounder, of course.) In addition, none of them presents the last known state of the webpage when loading. (iCab does, but only when there's no Internet connection at all and it's working in offline mode.) Thanks - I'll try to implement the latter. Until then, just hide most columns so that you can remember which column belongs to which app.
