Okay, I've thought this through a bit more and hopefully can be more precise about my requests.
In the meantime, I downloaded and tried every single browser currently available and none of them stack up to yours for simplicity and speed. Just FYI.
So here's what I've come up with, as far as requests and fixes.
Requests:
1. Allow us to create a home page that we can quickly return to. This is useful for things like Google Places, which will show up automatically on the mobile version of google.*** I'd like to quickly be able to jump to this homepage with a button.
2. Either move the address bar to the bottom (as in IE) or make it an option. Although it is a standard to have the address bar at the top in a desktop browser, having at the bottom makes a lot more sense for usability.
3. Change the gesture to show the address bar when in fullscreen mode from a swipe to pinch-in. Swiping down just doesn't work for a couple of reasons. First, you have to be at the top of a page for it to function properly, so in a long page, you're scrolling and scrolling. Swiping up has never worked for me at all. Pinch in would always work, unless you're zoomed, and then it would take two pinches.
4. Allow the user to always show the address bar. This is nice for quick searches and for quickly showing the options bar. If the address bar is always shown, a pinch-in would instead take you to the tabs page, which would be super handy.
5. Add an up/down toggle button to show the options bar. This would allow you quick access to things like the homepage, add to faves, refresh, tabs and desktop version.
6. I may not be the majority, but I'd prefer a 'dashboard/speed dial' type startup page with a search box instead of always loading my last tabs. Not only would it likely be quicker, my last tabs are usually unimportant as they were what I happened to be looking at in the grocery store... or wherever. Plus, I can always access those in my history. Baidu and Beyond browsers both do this startup page quite well. FYI.
7. Enable (somehow?) cached previous pages. I don't know how some of the browsers do it, but they cache your last page, making the last page load instantly when you hit the back button. It may not be possible since you're using the IE engine. And please stick with that, btw - yours is much faster than all of the other browsers.
8. Switch the 'desktop version' button for a forward button and put the 'desktop version in the popup options list. I rarely switch to desktop version, but often go forward. This would be slightly more convenient.
See the screenshot attached for an illustration of some of these suggestions.
Bugs:
When I add a page to the favorites, the URL is correct, but the title is always of the last page I accessed.
For instance, if I did this:
Google.ca -> search for 'car' -> click on Edumunds.com -> add to favorites
The bookmark is for edmunds.com but the title shows 'Google search result - car'
That's about all I can think of right now. Thanks again - I appreciate you taking the time to consider my suggestions.
