·         Sharing and saving options for pages and links
·         Download management
·         Reader mode to reduce clutter and display only article content for easy reading
·         Private mode
·         Change user agent between desktop and mobile versions of sites

It is perhaps the fastest browser you will be able to run without jail breaking it because it runs the Nitro JavaScript engine that is not available system-wide and should be fixed in iOS 8. 


Safari also has a couple of nice features that am sure you will enjoy to use: syncing bookmarks from desktop browsers like safari and Google chrome via iCloud.It also has a reading list which saves pages to read offline later and is accessible via the bookmarks menu. It is important to note that safari does not support plug-ins and is not great with sharing links and other contents with other apps or your contacts. Nonetheless it is a free browser that is fine to use if you only browse occasionally and open links from social networks and other apps.Browsing via this browser you can download free moviesto iphone.
