Mozilla To Take On Safari In IPad

Online, July 4, 2012 (Newswire.com) - The open source web browser, Mozilla has recently announced that it is in the process of developing a brand new iPad compatible web browser with the goal of replacing Safari to make browsing a fun experience.

Mozilla, which has developed browsers like Firefox has named it as Junior and is expected to be unveiled within next few months. According to Alex Limi, the Firefox Product Designer, the junior browser will be much more user friendly than Safari. It has been designed to give a whole new experience to the iPad users replacing the dull and gloomy experience that Safari has provided to its users so far. The Junior web browser will be one of its kind to have a Firefox synchronizing application in the Apple's Application store.

The new browser will feature a host of improved elements like; it will provide a full screen experience, do away with the conventional search bar and will have an easy-to- use user interface with simple navigations to give a totally new browsing experience to the users. Perhaps it will change the way people used to browse on their iPad devices. One of the two buttons on the interface are back and plus, in which the latter will display the list of recently visited sites. In addition, it has favorites and bookmarks apart from displaying a URL bar at the bottom of the page.

However on its way to maintain simplicity, Mozilla has not forgotten to include functions like, reload, forward, and print. Furthermore, the Junior Browser will be powered with numerous facilities like: adding multiple user accounts, an option for private browsing, and password protected login in menu at the left hand side of the page. However, due to certain restrictions imposed by Apple, Mozilla is crippled to bring its pictorial platform Gecko to Apple's operating System, said Alex.
