iBrowser is one of the third party web browsers for iPhone launched recently. As every third party iPhone browser features something special the iBrowser too claims to be a unique one. The special feature of this browser is that it allows the user to lock the screen orientation. This means that if you lock the screen in portrait mode then the orientation of the web page will not change even if you hold the Apple iPhone in landscape direction.

This is a very useful feature because most of the time it happens that even a slight change in the iPhone’s direction leads to change in the web site’s orientation. Normally this automatic screen directional change, found other smartphones like the T-Mobile G1 Google-phone or HTC models, is a major asset for users. However, web browsers that are sensitive to phone’s direction cause lots of trouble when the user is driving. The iBrowser can solve this issue and offer you irritation free web browsing. But like the other third party browsers the iBrowser too has its own limitations. It does not support multiple pages or tabbed browsing plus there is no support for bookmarks, history, emailing a link to a page, page zoom in and zoom out. Moreover you will not find any preferences for customising cookies and scripts.

If you can survive without these options then the iBrowser app is perhaps the best option. However, the Incognito and QuickSurf are still better than this because these two also support screen’s orientation locking technology and offer loads of extra features and capabilities.
