Google Chrome might be the most popular mobile browser overall, but that's mostly due to Android's dominance in the smartphone market: On iPhones, it comes in as a distant second to Apple's own Safari, which makes it pretty exotic. If you also use Chrome on your desktop or laptop, you can sync bookmarks and recently visited sites via your Google account, replicating Safari's Handoff feature. There's also one-touch access to Google Translate, voice search using Google rather than Siri, and a handy QR-code scanner above the virtual keyboard.
Its "Incognito" mode doesn't send cookies or store browser history. Google Chrome is free and runs on iOS 9. Brave isn't just trying to change browsing, it's trying to change publishing.
It's big on privacy and security, enforcing HTTPS Everywhere and blocking scripts, pop-ups, third-party cookies, ads and trackers. Users can make a monthly payment to Brave to buy a number of BATs, which are then redistributed among all the websites participating in the program.
The payout websites receive is determined by the generosity and frequency of their visitors. Brave Browser is free, and runs on iOS 9. Ulli's developer, Biggerpan, says it uses artificial intelligence to help people that don't quite know what they want. Tapping Ulli's Magic Button while reading a web page will bring up a list of suggestions for what to read next.
Imagine you're reading about a new film: the Magic Button might offer you a trailer, a review, or the opportunity to buy tickets at local theaters. If you choose to buy tickets, its next suggestions might be to view a map, book a ride, or find local restaurants.
Once you've chosen one, it might suggest booking a table. That sequence of desires is not so hard to predict; It will be interesting to see what next steps it recommends to people seeking help on StackExchange or filing a report in Bugzilla. Ulli is free, and runs on iOS 9. This browser has one of the longest features of any of the mobile browsers. You can tell Dolphin where you want to go by tapping on one of its speed-dial buttons, selecting a destination from the bookmarks, history or open tabs it has synchronized with your PC, or typing its address.
You can also use touch gestures to select favorite destinations, perhaps tracing a C for Computerworld. Dolphin Web Browser is free, and will run on iOS 7. Yes, the Microsoft browser that hardly anyone uses on Windows is coming to iOS, too. Edge will sync favorites and passwords between all your devices logged into Microsoft's cloud servers.
And finally, Microsoft says it will have a built-in QR code scanner, voice search presumably using Cortana, which is already available on iOS and a mode it calls InPrivate to keep your browsing data private. It's now available in Apple's App store. Mozilla is happy to get users for Firefox wherever it can, even on iOS, where the browser must not only compete with Safari but actually be Safari. Sort of. Like Chrome, Firefox has to rely on Safari's internals, including its rendering and JavaScript engines.
That's an Apple rule for iOS. Firefox on the iPhone or iPad is a smart choice if you're already using Firefox on other devices, since it will sync bookmarks, passwords and other information between them all to keep you up to speed. Firefox on iOS also features the same anti-ad tracking technology found on the desktop, and sports large visual tabs that are also numbered for fast retrieval.

The decision was made just a day after Apple announced its SDK plans and after an investigation which suggested that a Java virtual machine environment would be feasible , according to Sun's Java marketing VP, Eric Klein.
Initially, the software will be a variant of Java Micro Edition, a mobile version of the software most often used for cellphone games as well as some specialized business apps, such as CRM customer relations management or ERP enterprise resource planning tools.
However, the Sun official also said that the software would hopefully be optimized for the iPhone and allow access to features specific to Apple's mobile platform. The executive also said his company wouldn't rule out more advanced developments. JavaFX, a second mobile version of Java built partly to substitute for Flash and other web animations, was possible. Over time, the company could also write a version of Java Standard Edition if its initial experience proves worthwhile.
While a release of Java for the iPhone and iPod touch would not appear until sometime after Apple's June launch of its version 2. Apple chief executive Steve Jobs said no Java was coming from his own company as late as this week and last year described a full Java engine as a burden to the phone that was unlikely to be used by developers.
