Posted 01/03/2012 at 1:48pm | by Florence Ion

If you’re an Apple purist, then Firefox and Google Chrome just won’t cut it. Since Safari’s been updated to version 5, more third-party developers have created add-on extensions for Apple’s browser, so you can customize it to your liking. Our favorite Safari add-ons take it from just another browser to an ultimate internet companion.

When it comes to surfing the interwebs with an iPad, iPhone or iPod touch, Safari gets things done, albeit with a lack of style and an absence of Flash. While this might be fine for some people, many of us -- demanding more from our mobile browsing experience -- download alternative alternative web browsers from the iTunes App Store in the hopes of finding one that fills the digital hole left in our hearts by Safari's shortcomings. Interested in taking one for a spin? We thought you'd be. To get you started, we've put together a collection of ten of the better mobile browsers available for your iOS device.

If you've ever had your online accounts "hacked" into, you know how imperative it is to protect yourself when you're using a public computer.

The first line of defense can be your browsing habits. When using a public, or friend's computer, you should always use private browsing mode, or at least clear your browsing history before leaving. In fact, there are times when you need to erase, or hide, your browsing history at home. Hey, maybe you're shopping for something special for someone that lives with you. We're not here to judge.

Coming Soon: Opera for the iPad

When Apple blocked Google Voice from the App Store, the most hilarious reason they gave was that it replicated a core function of the iPhone. We laughed because there were literally dozens of WebKit based browsers in the App Store, duplicating the functionality of Safari. When Norway's Opera tried to get their browser in the App Store, Apple originally balked, then relinquished. And we celebrated. Well, get out those party hats again because it looks like an upgrade -- a big upgrade -- is coming our way.

How To Make Safari Pretend to Be Firefox, Opera, or Even Internet Explorer

It doesn’t happen often anymore, but once in a while I’ll surf to a page that won’t open in Safari, and I get a message saying something like, “Sorry, you are using a browser that isn’t supported.
