SimpleBrowser - If you find yourself wishing SimpleBrowser had things like bookmarks, tabs, or ad-blocking, then please check out SimpleBrowserPlus! SimpleBrowserPlus has all the same features as SimpleBrowser (Free), adding the following: The ability to create & edit bookmarks (Can change name, URL, and position in list) Ad-Blocking capability (Custom block lists supported, Hosts format encouraged) Browse in a 4 "tabbed" configuration (Open in new tab context menu) Each "tab" (It's more of a pane) has its own settings, so you can have each tab be set with a specific homepage and user agent string while bookmarks are available across all tabs. SimpleBrowser Features: ----------------------- Want to browse the web with nothing else on the screen? Tired of your PlayBook going to sleep while you're trying to stream media from the browser? Want to get the full desktop browser experience? (Change user agent string) This is just the app you've been looking for then! SimpleBrowser is just that, a simple interface for browsing the web. You get the benefit of being able to browse a website without anything else on the screen, just a nice 1024x600 window into the web. Think of it as your web browser that truly reproduces the experience on your desktop. Set the user agent to "Firefox" and web sites will assume you're on a desktop PC, likewise there are stored settings for iPad, and Android. If those 3 aren't enough you can add your own custom user agent string easily. In addition SimpleBrowser is a media friendly browser, you can open up any website you would like and the PlayBook will NOT enter standby mode. As long as your PlayBook is set to "Showcase" in the settings screen general tab, and SimpleBrowser is being displayed on the screen, the PlayBook will remain on. (This feature can now be disabled via the Settings menu!) Many settings can be configured in the Settings menu, for example: Home Page, Default Font Size, JavaScript, Flash, & Geolocation Control, and many others! CHEAT SHEET (Stand in for instructions temporarily) ---------------- The navigation bar can be displayed and hidden with a swipe down on the top bezel. Long press on Forward Arrow/Reload icon will load the saved homepage. Icons in URL bar change to do different functions, you can stop a page from loading there for example.
