    Hi,

    Hope this is in the right section, what I'm looking for is an ios browser.

    Since upgrading (upgrade lol.. Thats a joke, more like a downgrade) I am finding safari a pain to use, I dislike the new look and new icons and what's worse, the bookmarks are on the wrong side of the screen for me.

    Can someone suggest an alternative ios browser?

    I use Safari mainly, but i heard - Maxathon, is the fastest browser for all platforms. You may wanna give it a whirl. It uses the cloud to speed things up, but i believe it isn't as rich in content.

    You probably don't want a cloud based browser as your main browser. Feature rich ones (with download managers, file managment, ad blocking and so on) would be browsers like iCab browser, Atomic browser, Mercury browser etc. They're all 1-2 bucks I believe, but with iCab and similar you don't need to worry about using 2rd party apps to download and transfer files between apps, Dropbox, and so on. Dolphin is another free, popular and fast browser. They all use the same framework as Safari in the end so (except cloud based servers which renders the websites and then sends them to your device, allowing flash content and so on, but absolutely zero sequrity).

    Chrome or Opera are nice and also play along with their desktop version.

    Tried mercury and I didn't like it, also tried Coast and that's okay but is slow to load pages.

    I'm finding iOS7 to be a major upgrade, albeit with some rough edges (which I expect will be ironed out in the near future). To each his own, I guess. As far as browsers are concerned, I use two besides Safari: Dolphin for rendering speed, and Puffin for Flash compatibility. Safari is still my go-to browser, and I really like how it's evolved on iOS 7 -- again, to each his own ;).
