And yet iCab Mobile (IMHO) the best browser on iOS doesn't get a mention?

Great minds think alike. ;) I too have been using iCab for several months and after using Chrome, iCab is still the best iPad browser out there.

OMG where do I start. The ability to set is to identify as a desktop browser is one. that way I'm not forced to mobile sites.

I was excited when Chrome came out, because I rely on Chrome syncing between my multiple computers. I realized though, that I don't want the setup for my iPad, because I use it for different purposes. I use iCab, with a bookmark bar that contains only the sites I normally visit on the iPad.

Once again, you have overlooked iCab Mobile, which is the best browser I have used on my iPhone. You can change the browser user agent, send screenshots directly to Dropbox and install tons of useful modules instead of tediously adding bookmarklets.

Why isn't iCab listed? iCab is the best iOS browser replacement hands down. The developer is awesome. I always wonder why no one includes iCab in any stories like these.
