Search web pages in Mobile Safari

Oliver Haslam — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 21:47:05 +0000

So, Safari on the iPhone. Probably the best mobile browser out there, but with one pretty major flaw; you can’t search web pages for words. Or can you ?

It’s all rather simple really, and it’s done by the magic of a bookmarklet.

Put your tabs back where the should be in Safari 4 beta

Oliver Haslam — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 22:43:45 +0000

I’m not going to go through all the bells and whistles Safari 4 brings to the table, that’s been done to death all over the internet. Instead, what I do offer you is a way to get around what according to Twitter is the main reason [...]
