I view this site on my iPad 99% of the time.
Most often I use the Google browser app. Although I do use Apples Safari at times.
Just today we were seeking a solution for my Wife who needs to watch some work related training videos and NOTHING was able to play them!
Not Apple, not Android, not Google and not Microsoft.
I did some searching and stumbled onto a link speaking positively about the browser Puffin and it being able to support video..... in the paid version.
I had to pay $4.99 for the browser in the App Store not knowing if it would work or not ...... and I'm pleased to report it does support her video.
I thought, oh heck I installed it, I'm going to try some surfing with it Google has been so Slow lately.
Holy Crap!
It is fast! Like I bought a new computer fast!
At this early stage...... nothing but praise from me.

Might give this thing a shot, as I am currently experiencing the same difficulties with my normal browsers.

Anybody have a browser recommendation for iOS 9? I have an old iPad with a nice big screen that used to be good for surfing, but now it's a bit of an orphan since Apple doesn't support the latest iOS on it. _________________ The consequences of your decisions should not be confused with fate. |

there's this one called Dolphin Web Browser by MoboTap Inc.
The requirements for it on apple's website says it needs IOS 7 or later so it should work on your iPad.
I would approach this browser with caution though, I couldn't find a privacy policy so there's no knowing what there doing with your data.
I think this is a good reminder that the main advantage of using a mainstream browser like chrome or firefox is the support behind it, plus because a lot of people are using it more security audits/fixes are likely to be made to those browsers. _________________ 71 Super Beetle
