    I don't know if it is the best, but I prefer Puffin due to it's flash compatibility.

    My ni- bro.
    Puffin is awesome because it works so well with nes/snesbox.com.
    Best used if you play Earthbound.

    I use Mercury too, it's definitely better than Safari but I can't say I've tried many browsers on iOS.

    I have Mercury, Puffin and Crome installed.
    Safari is definitely the fastest and I use it most of time.Puffin is most versatile and useful as it has nearly perfect flash support.Mercury and Crome are both ok, but nothing special, will probably delete them both.

    Safari. Every other browser is just a reskin of it

    Safari uses nitro javascript so it's the fastest browser you'll get. I've tried several browsers but I prefer safari over all.

    I love Atomic, it always felt fast to me even abefore I installed Nitrous (a jailbreak tweak that supposedly makes every browser as fast as Safari).

    I also like iCab because it uploads pictures and Puffin for flash and because its the only one that's not a reskin.

    Somewhat I still felt Chrome is more user-friendly, though sometimes I used Dolphin (works well in Android but somewhat slight buggy in iOS)

    General use is Safari. I used to use iCab mobile and Atomic a lot more, but don't as much anymore. The others have more feature..and those "hyper scroll bars" are great..but I prefer having a faster JavaScript experience so ended up using Safari most of the time.

    Dolphin. By far the best. Chrome was good too, but after too many random DNS lookup failed coming from that, Dolphin. Safari is good, Chrome is better, but Dolphin is best.

    Why do you like Dolphin so much?
    Like the previous poster I used to use Atomic and iCab a lot but now mostly safari unless I need flash (Puffin) or upload (iCab)

    Well it's hard to explain, it's just awesome. For the price of free. I guess I like the 'draw your symbol' in one stroke feature to access websites and stuff, and the bookmarks on the new tab area, it's just awesome.

    I use Atomic. It has everything. However, two problems.

    Its ad block is lousy compared to ad block plus, so I get a lot of ads.

    Atomic's tab bar is on top instead of bottom, so when switching tabs, it is very easy to accidentally scroll to the top of my current webpage instead. Developer totally ignored my polite email about this too...

    Safari Though,

    But if you really want to download browser apps on Appstore,

    Try Puffin/Google Chrome :)
