Who has a favorite ipad browser? I used to like ichromy, but the last update frelled a bunch of things up. Opera mini is ok - is there. Way to turn off the swipey animation when it loads a new page?

What I want, mainly, is real tabs and the ability to choose "open in new tab" by holding down the link. And free would be nice too.

Atomic Web has real tabs. I like it for being able to open everything in a folder of bookmarks all in tabs. It crashes a lot, though, and I don't think you can open a link in a new tab without setting all links (or all links from different domains) to open in new tabs. Pretty sure it was free but I've had it a while.

Right now I'd settle for whichever one will stop defaulting to Facebook Mobile. Grrr!

I should say, Atomic Web can crash a lot when I have many tabs open, otherwise it's pretty stable. Ah, and it does do the "long click" thing with Open in New Tab or Open in Background Tab among the menu options, now that I am playing around with it.

Le Nubian: still have to break it up at the end.My publisher requires word files for each chapter with pagination across files. They specifically won't accept multiple chapters per file. I suspect it has to do with layout requirements.

That could be a server-side issue. Or I guess you'd need a browser that could send out fake userAgent info...

Diigo used to be iChromy, since the switch I've been noticing issues.

I suspect it makes it easier for them. I suspect this, combined with the naming convention they specified feeds into an automated script in their publishing software to do a default layout, which their layout people then modify and insert tables and charts into. As for difficult for me, well when I signed that contract I proved they could get away with valuing my time at a very low rate.
